Orange Barrel Media / IKE Smart City

Orange Barrel Media develops and operates iconic outdoor media displays that add to the character of urban places in more than twenty key markets nationwide, including Los Angeles. Since its founding in 2004, OBM has pioneered a community-oriented model of outdoor media that provides advertisers with high-impact creative mediums while delivering public benefit through a programming mix of commercial messaging, art, and community content. The company is now nationally recognized by cities and real estate owners seeking to implement best-in-class media programs that make aesthetic, financial, and community contributions. OBM is widely known for offering the best advertising locations in the cities where it operates, and blue-chip brands consistently select OBM’s premium displays to serve as the centerpiece of their advertising campaigns. Over the years, OBM has grown its portfolio from large format displays and wallscapes to digital spectaculars and innovative digital kiosks called “IKE” (Interactive Kiosk Experience). Leveraging its expertise in smart city infrastructure, the OBM team created sister company IKE Smart City in 2015 to develop and operate the IKE platform in concert with cities across the United States. IKE’s advanced technology delivers valuable smart city services and drives discovery, mobility, and equity to support placemaking initiatives.
