consumers’ demands, develop a “big idea” then build a strong campaign to drive the
brand and ultimately revenue to higher levels,” stated CEO Mary Ann O’Brien-Elkjer.
“Customer based research is the foundation of all OBI strategic and execution work.
We base our strategies and creative in research, to ensure that our communications
resonate with the marketplace. This means going beyond traditional avenues and
encouraging clients to take a hard look at themselves from the customer’s
perspective.”

A Midwestern native, O’Brien-Eljker has a special affinity for Omaha. “We think
Omaha is a perfect place to live and work. It has the entrepreneurial spirit, strong
work ethic and thriving cultural scene we were looking for. Plenty of interesting
things happen between the coasts and being here helps us keep our finger on the
pulse of real people. As a result, we are well-positioned to serve local and
national brands alike,” said O’Brien-Elkjer.
