Account Executive jobs in United Arab Emirates

On Board Experiential (OBE) is an award winning, full service, experience-led agency that creates meaningful brand experiences worldwide, with office locations in London, San Francisco, Los Angeles and NYC.

We help brands to cut through the noise, capture consumer attention and leave lasting impressions that live beyond the shareable, streamable, screamable moment.

We are specialists in creating extraordinary brand events – immersive, engaging and unrivalled.

The London office is the most recent to open its doors in the OBE family, making us the new kids on the block, but backed by years of experiential experience. Boasting a heavy hitting portfolio of incredibly active brands and a range of well-established partners, we’re well set for an exciting future.

We work with brands that care. Brands that value meaningful relationships. Brands that are prepared to challenge what’s gone before. Brands that aren’t prepared to settle for OK. Brands that want the competitive advantage. Brands that act.

We are OBE and we’re a team of experiential playmakers.
