Our client became our co-founder.

Devon built OB Media Urban — content and culture, rooted in African urban music. He still reads every brief himself and remains close to camera, where it matters.

His side of the business runs across music and entertainment, drinks, retail and publishing. Early on it produced a Savanna Loco launch video and charged neither the brand nor the agency for it — it brought in more work than any pitch would have. Within a few years Outerbounds was a listed vendor at Distell, The Foschini Group and GQ.

Margeaux came to us as a client and hired OB Media as her film and photography partner. She was on the buying side of the desk, which is why commercial judgment has been in the building since the first day.

Her career runs through property development and inner-city regeneration, global sport, and luxury and hospitality — she headed marketing for South Point through Braamfontein's regeneration, and before that coordinated between FIFA officials and international team delegations at the 2010 World Cup. Today she works in brand, experiential and sponsorship.
