On Location Appoints John Thompson to Sales & Growth - Branded Environments
1/20/2026
MOUNT LAUREL, NJ - On Location, a nationwide provider of labor and management services for exhibits, events, activations, and branded environments, is proud to announce the appointment of John Thompson to the newly established role of Sales & Growth - Branded Environments. The creation of this position underscores the company's commitment to accelerating its presence in this rapidly growing sector, building upon its long-standing leadership in the installation and dismantle (I&D) of trade shows.
With more than 25 years of experience in sales, business development, and strategic market expansion, Thompson will spearhead growth initiatives focused specifically on non-trade show branded environment installations. These include retail spaces, corporate facilities, hospitality venues, museums, stadiums, and a wide range of immersive experiential settings.
"This business is not new to On Location," said Michael Mulry, President. "For years we've successfully delivered high-impact branded environment projects for some of the world's most recognizable companies, including Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, Dyson, and The Estée Lauder Companies. We're ready to tell that story more broadly and significantly expand this segment of our business."
On Location's nationwide operational team is well-positioned to support these opportunities, with skilled employees strategically located around the country. Brandon Gery, Operations Manager, notes, "John's track record building vertical markets and cultivating long-term client partnerships makes him the ideal person advancing our reach across branded environments."
Throughout his career, Thompson has launched new initiatives, grown national accounts, and built lasting partnerships in both retail and commercial markets. His strategic mindset and collaborative approach align perfectly with On Location's reputation for professionalism, executional excellence, and client-centric service. Thompson was drawn to the company's strong leadership team and its established operational infrastructure, viewing this role as a chance to help shape a high-growth business segment while elevating industry awareness of the company's broad capabilities.
"This role represents both an exciting challenge and natural progression," Thompson said. "On Location's leadership, operational strength, and client-first culture truly set it apart. The opportunity to proactively expand branded environment work and establish new vertical markets is directly aligned with where the industry is headed-and I'm thrilled to help lead that evolution."
