Marketing Manager

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.

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.

• Support the identification and coordination of speaking opportunities for OBE executives and subject matter experts to grow agency visibility and credibility.
• Drive targeted pre-event and post-event marketing efforts to maximize awareness and engagement around industry appearances.
• Support client-hosting and agency event efforts as needed.

• Collaborate with internal teams to integrate strategic marketing needs into client project workflows, such as content capture opportunities and approvals on content use.
• Serve as an internal resource for case study and project content recommendations — helping teams identify the right stories for pitches, presentations, and proposals.
• Build and maintain relationships with key vendors, partners, and external agencies to support seamless execution of marketing initiatives.
• Work closely with the Senior Brand Marketing Director to support strategic planning, reporting, and special projects.

Education / Experience

•  2–4 years of experience in marketing; experiential or creative agency background a strong plus.
• Bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business administration, or related field preferred.

• Proficient in Keynote, Google Suite and Microsoft Office; strong command of presentation design.
• Light graphic design experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator) — able to create or adapt assets independently without always relying on the creative team.
• Video editing experience (Premiere Pro, CapCut, or similar) — comfortable cutting social-ready clips, reels, and recap videos from raw event footage.
• Photography experience and motion graphic design skills an additional plus.
• ClickUp proficiency preferred — experience using ClickUp or a similar project management platform to manage tasks, timelines, and cross-functional workflows.
• Curiosity and experience with AI a plus — hands-on experience with AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or similar is a bonus, as is an interest in testing and applying marketing-related AI solutions and automations.
•  High energy and flexibility to work non-traditional hours as deadlines require.
• Willingness to work a hybrid schedule (up to 3 days in office) and travel up to 50% of the time
•  Natural curiosity — a drive to stay current, keep learning, and bring fresh ideas to the table.
