What is Obu Interactive
Obu Interactive is one of San Diego’s premier growing digital marketing agencies located downtown in the Gaslamp. The company nearly exclusively works with lawyers, however a few fun projects and pro bono ones have come along as well. The company was founded in 2008 by Wil Chang and Landon Harlan in a small office of only about 200 sq ft. Currently the office resides on the top floor of a historic brick building on 5th Avenue centrally located to Petco Park (1 block east), Omnia (1 block north), and The Hard Rock Hotel (1 block south). Needless to say the office is a whole lot bigger now :).
WHY might you want to work for Obu and do legal marketing?
The personal reason: This is a big deal and is something everyone here shares as a commonality: standing up for the underdog. If you are the type to stick up for someone, to help encourage those who may be down on their luck, you are probably like us. Our clients represent those who have usually been hurt through no fault of their own. It could be from a dangerous birth control drug, a toxic spill in a nearby river, or a scary car accident. There are many of these “injustices” occurring everyday. While we can’t turn back time or fix all the pain, we help direct these people to professionals who can.
The professional development reason: Our job is to make our clients look the best for someone who may be searching for a lawyer online. To choose one of our clients where there are so many is the “conversion challenge”. Marketing a simple “want” vs. a “need,” as no one truly wants a lawyer — they need one, usually desperately. So why do they choose the lawyer whose site you marketed? Our clients are many of the leaders in Law, nominated as top women and men litigators from around the country. This makes for unique, challenging and rewarding work.
