We are pleased to announce that Ann Howard has joined Signal as an account executive at our Wilmington office. Although she’s our newest hire, Ann is a familiar longtime member of the Signal family as the wife of Interactive Director Adam Howard. So she already knows what we’re all about, and we already know what a huge contribution her talents will bring to the company.

“We are very excited to have Ann join our Signal team,” says Signal President Rick Haynes. “With Ann’s unique abilities and expertise we are confident that she will add tremendous value helping clients grow their business while helping us grow ours as well.”

Ann earned a BA in Journalism from Salem College and an MBA at UNCW’s Cameron School of Business. She previously served as a business counselor at the Small Business and Technology Development Center at UNCW’s Cameron School of Business. She also has experience as a marketing and public relations manager, and in business valuation and technology transfer.

Ann’s duties include working closely with clients to reach their revenue goals using Signal’s creative and technological strength. She will also play a key role in the company’s future expansion to new markets.

“I have always admired Signal’s rare balance of strong design, technical chops, and strategic expertise,” Ann says. “I look forward to working with clients to use these strengths to create growth and profit in the ‘new’ economy.”
