Orange Barrel Media

Orange Barrel Media (OBM), founded in 2004, is an out-of-home media company that designs and operates urban media displays and smart city kiosk platforms across the United States. Its Urban Media Displays - billboards and digital displays situated in entertainment districts, mixed-use developments and other high-impact locations - are deployed in more than 30 major U.S. cities. The company also runs IKE Smart City, an interactive kiosk and wayfinding platform for urban environments that launched in 2015.

Work at the company spans a set of technical and design disciplines: out-of-home media, digital display technology, interactive kiosks, wayfinding systems, smart city infrastructure and urban media design. Operating contexts include out-of-home advertising, smart cities, real estate development, arts and culture, municipal government and urban development, with particular involvement in entertainment districts and mixed-use projects.

OBM is headquartered in New York, with additional offices in Los Angeles, California, and Columbus, Ohio. Its development model is community-oriented, balancing art, community content and commercial messaging, and involves extensive collaboration with cities, real estate developers and art institutions. The stated aim is to enhance urban character while delivering measurable value to advertisers, property owners and municipal partners; the displays are designed to be sought out by name.
