Perfect blend of <span>horsepower</span> and <span>efficiency</span>

Signal began as a spark, fueled by emotion.

Signal was founded in 1992 by Rick Haynes and Dave Grinnell after a painful downsizing at their former employer forced Rick to layoff his entire creative team. Rick wanted to create a place to give those talented individuals an opportunity to showcase their talents and provide an exceptional experience for clients.

Starting out as a traditional graphic design firm, over the years Signal has continuously added advanced digital marketing services and capabilities and evolved into a dynamic digital agency while retaining its close-knit "business family" culture.

The initial passion that started Signal still burns brightly as the foundation of all our successes.
