Areas where we specialize:
Annual Reporting
Whether your company is delivering financial information only, adding a high-impact marketing message or creating a consistent year-long presence with shareholders, Obata can create the right look and visual communications package for your messages. We created our first annual report in 1956, winning a Gold Award from the St. Louis Art Directors Club the following year. Since then, we’ve designed and produced more than 250 annual reports — and won more than our fair share of awards along the way. Learn more about our annual report design services.
Sustainability Reporting
Obata designs and produces sustainability reports for a number of companies that follow frameworks such as Global Report Initiative (GRI), and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) as well as other more basic reports. Currently, most of the published sustainability reports we produce are interactive PDFs, and/or microsites which reside on a company’s website.

Employee Communications
Obata designs employee communications programs and campaigns that can inspire and rally employees around your strategic priorities. We can help you drive employee recruitment, and educate your workforce around strategic company initiatives. Through integrated campaigns and other ongoing print and digital marketing communications, our team can help you grow employee awareness and engagement.
