About On Board Experiential (OBE)
OBE is a global marketing agency that brings brands to life through culture-shaping experiences. For more than 30 years, we've partnered with iconic brands — including Nike, the NFL, JPMorganChase, Meta, Sephora, Starbucks, and Converse — to build community, create cultural relevance, and drive measurable business impact. With offices in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and London, we activate globally. OBE is also a founding member of The ADD Collective, extending our reach and resources while staying true to our core capabilities.
We've been recognized by Event Marketer as one of the best places to work in events — and we couldn't agree more.
The most important part of our business is our people. They are hardworking, imaginative, and make genuinely remarkable things happen. But behind every great activation is a human who deserves rest, connection, and a life outside of work. That's why we invest in recovery days, company offsites, happy hours, and the kind of friendly-but-competitive fitness challenges that bond teams for life.
We show up for each other — in open conversations that heal, inspire, and bring us closer. We want to hear about your lived experiences, your unconventional ideas, and the perspectives only you can bring. Being unapologetically yourself isn't just welcome here. It's part of the job.
Marketing Manager
The Marketing Manager is the engine behind OBE's day-to-day marketing output — a creative, hands-on doer with sharp instincts, high standards, and a genuine love for brand storytelling. Reporting to the Senior Brand Marketing Director, this role is for the marketer who wants to own it end-to-end: from strategy to execution, copy to content, data to design. The ideal candidate loves visual storytelling and all things brand marketing. They are an active consumer of experiences and enjoy curating content in both their personal and professional lives. They are proactive, detail-obsessed, and equally comfortable doing research and writing copy as they are crafting content and pulling analytics.
SUMMARY OF POSITION
This is a role for someone who is hungry to learn, eager to make their mark, and excited by the idea of helping shape how one of the most dynamic experiential agencies in the country shows up in the world. If you’re the person who notices great brand work in the wild, screenshots campaigns for inspo, and genuinely geeks out over a well-crafted caption — we want to hear from you.
