About

Research-based advertising. Results-based awesomeness.

We’re OBI Creative, and we move people to engage with businesses and brands in new, exciting ways. Founded by Mary Ann O’Brien in 2001 as a project for California-based Gateway Computers (you know, the tech company with the famous cow boxes), we’ve since grown into an internationally-recognized research, strategic communications and advertising agency with offices in Omaha, Des Moines and San Diego.

Today, we boast a client roster of Fortune 500 companies, start-ups and nonprofits from across the region and around the globe; an ever-growing collection of hardware—56 marketing and creative awards in 2016 alone as well as a Silver Stevie Award for Company of the Year in the Advertising, Marketing and PR category; and, most importantly, results for our clients. Like you.
