The 2022 OBIE’s are in full swing! As another sign of optimism for our industry, a strong reinvestment in creativity this past year brought forward a large and diverse group of entries. The entire physical and digital OOH toolkit was put to work in unique combinations as brands were inspired to deliver OBIE-level creative excellence. Our esteemed jury engaged in a thoughtful and vigorous judging session on February 11th, and their commitment to upholding the OBIE standards during our 80th anniversary was clear from the opening round.
Below are the finalists – 127 individual brands culled down from 725 total entries. Bronze, Silver, Gold & Platinum will be revealed in-person and via live stream on Tuesday, May 17, where The OBIEs serve as the gala event for the GO2022 GEOPATH/OAAA conference in Marco Island, FL.
