We work with amazing local clients and a number of the world’s most recognized brands — not too bad for a little agency that began in a home office. We’ve come a long way, but never lost focus on what matters most: results.
We could say we’re an advertising agency, but that doesn’t seem to cover it. We’ve tackled everything from brochures to websites, created logos, radio and TV spots and guerilla marketing tactics. It’s not so much about what we do, it’s what you need.
  • We think clients deserve our full attention and have earned our full respect. Marketing works best as a partnership between a company which knows how to actually help you sell something and you.
  • Everybody says they have great client or customer service. But in many cases, you don’t know the truth until it’s too late. At Signature, we believe that every one of our clients should be treated as if they were our only client.
  • At Signature, we understand who the client is, so we listen. We're not saying that the client is always right, but the client is always the client.
  • You want it when? We don't know why anyone would be in this business and not expect to have to move quickly. At Signature, we know that the world is moving faster and faster. So instead of fighting tight deadlines, we’ve embraced them.
  • Not only do we believe that the client deserves more than one creative or strategic option, we also believe in taking our clients’ ideas seriously.
  • Here’s a twist: you pay for it – you own it. That’s right. We’re not interested in maintaining ownership of anything but a strong portfolio of satisfied clients.
  • We believe you deserve to know and authorize how much you’re spending every step of the way. We’ll provide cost estimates and agree in writing how much of your money we’re going to spend before we ever get started on your project.

  • Mark Henry President/CEO Mark overcame the hardship of growing up with two first names to become one of the founding partners of Signature Advertising. Besides turning on the agency's "ON" button every morning, Mark is active in the community, serving on the boards of Memphis in May, Page Robbins and the University of Memphis Journalism Alumni Association. > Administration
  • Charles Marshall Chief Idea Officer One of the founding partners of Signature, Charles wears a lot of hats at the agency; you probably think that means that he does a lot of different jobs, but actually, he just really, really likes hats. When not trying on new fedoras, he keeps busy helping oversee the creative work being done at Signature. > Administration
  • Michelle Oiler Managing Director As Signature’s resident jack-of-all-trades, Michelle Oiler has a hand in almost everything around the office. And while she never fulfilled her girlhood dream of becoming a veterinarian, she does, however, spend her days herding cats. > Administration
  • Brian Tisdale Director of Account Services Brian’s been in the ad game for most of his professional career, which makes him a qualified human relations expert (with a little bit of magicianship tossed in for good measure). We asked Brian to describe himself in two words, and he said, “Bon Jovi.” We asked for three more words, and he said, “more Bon Jovi.” > Account Services
  • Karen Parks Director of Creative Services With a resume that includes oil painting, jazzercise instructing, slalom water skiing and first-class grandmothering, Karen proves that she has the right skills to keep the creative department running smoothly every day. And, as anyone can tell you, that’s quite an accomplishment. > Creative
  • Kevin Miller Creative Director At the top of Kevin’s list of special skills is juggling and parallel parking. And we’ve seen first-hand how he puts those skills to use. With his final say on all the work done in the department, he does a great job of juggling projects and not smashing egos or fenders. > Creative
  • John Mooney Director of Digital Media John, first and foremost, is a man of detail. Programming systems, cutting-edge social media platform, complicated coding — he somehow manages to fit it all inside his brain. Which is even more amazing when you consider how much of his brain is filled with Batman knowledge. > Digital Media
  • Erica Klinger VP, Marketing OmniChannel Strategy When she’s not kayaking, mountain biking or downing a cup of Joe, Erica’s fantasizing about the latest interactive marketing strategies. And with her bordering-on-intense levels of craftiness and persistence, we’ve determined that Erica’s spirit animal is a honey badger – a kinder, gentler honey badger who also loves kids and non-profits. > Administration
  • Debbie Graham Director of Production Debbie’s real title should be ‘Director of Smiles.’ While she operates as our resident production guru (the woman really knows her packaging), she’s also known for her all-around good mood and upbeat demeanor. And due to her love of bare feet, she’s also really good at sneaking up on people. > Production
  • Leslie Northam Controller When you’ve got an office full of creative types, you need at least one person who’s responsible enough to keep track of the really important business-y stuff. That person is Leslie. She makes sure the lights stay on and IRS stays off our back. Because we’re creative types, and we have no idea how to do any of those things. > Administration
  • Daniel Swink Director of IT Danny is our resident IT guru. He spends his days fixing our computers, while we spend our days screwing them up. Did we also mention that he’s incredibly patient? > Administration
  • Tag Graham VP of Marketing With his finger on the pulse of social media and digital technology, Tag is our resident tactician. To him, cutting edge is yesterday’s news. He’s always looking ahead, anticipating what will be big in the years to come. We were promised hover boards, Tag. Just sayin’. > Account Services
  • Ed Gibbons VP of Business Development Before venturing into the advertising world with Signature, Ed worked in the food industry for 37 years. When he isn’t checking the facts and figures of new business opportunities, he can be found out on the highway, opening up the throttle on his classic BMW motorcycle. > Account Services
  • Ty Deal Senior Account Manager Ty Deal enjoys two things in life: the satisfying thwack of a perfect tee shot and making up inappropriate song lyrics for everyday situations. He wishes he could do more of the former, but really makes up for it with the latter. > Account Services
  • Jennifer Gardner Account Manager Jennifer was raised in Corinth, Mississippi, just a musket shot away from some of the most important Civil War battles. That’s probably where she learned the value of creative thinking, careful strategy and decisive action. > Account Services
  • Tino Acchiardo Account Manager Although Tino came to the U.S. as child, he really considers himself a citizen of the world. Anyone who meets him will immediately find themselves engaged in lively conversation often concerning family, travel, film, food or wine — sometimes all at once. He’s also a great resource for some killer Chilean recipes. > Account Services
  • Joe Walz Account Manager Joe loves ‘Mad Men’, Boyz II Men and ‘Of Mice and Men.’ Actually, we made up that last part, but he did dabble in high school theater. When he’s not kicking ass and taking names in the advertising world, Joe enjoys hugging his wife and high-fiving his daughter. > Account Services
  • CJ Kelman Web Content Specialist CJ loves animals, painting her nails, walking her dog on the Greenline and listening to rap music. CJ came to us as a college intern, so we like to say we knew her when she was “just a kid.” > Account Services
  • Ben Hampton Designer Sure, Ben’s known for his top-notch design skills, but he’s also known to serenade his coworkers with a tune or two (or three). Ben may have sung in his college choir, but we think he sounds the best after a Red Sox win or a successful client pitch. > Creative
  • Florencia Carrillo Art Director Flo is our very talented, off-site designer. Throughout the years, our office has stayed in Memphis, while she’s lived in exotic locales like Brazil and Mexico. We’ve asked her several times to host off-site company retreats, but to no avail. > Creative
  • Arick Elion Motion Graphics Specialist Arick is the eternal optimist. He never shies away from any challenge and revels in complicated motion graphics projects. And, of course, no Signature workday is complete without a fist bump from Arick. > Creative
  • Adrienne Mask Art Director Adrienne enjoys traveling, photography, reading and art, which makes sense, considering the whole ‘art director’ thing. She’s also an accomplished gymnast (we keep asking her to perform floor routines around the office, but she refuses). > Creative
  • Helen Beaty Copywriter As an adherent to yogic practices and philosophy, Helen strives to maintain an aura of zen at all times. Except when you sneak up and scare her — then she’ll pretty much flip out. Which is hilarious. > Creative
  • Jennifer Brown Print Production Specialist Jenn Brown has the entire Pantone catalogue memorized. Well, probably not, but it’s darn near close. We’ve tried to stump her many times, but the woman knows prepress like the back of her hand. A color-corrected, prepressed hand. > Creative
  • Tom Weis Production Manager When he’s not downing entire rotisserie chickens for a lunchtime snack, Tom enjoys running off those rotisserie chicken calories. Seriously. He ran over 3,000 miles last year, the distance from New York to Los Angeles. Keep on snackin’, Tom. > Production
  • Max Karimnia Digital Media QA Manager App designer. Award-winning video game developer. Hot sauce connoisseur. These are just a few phrases to describe man-about-town Max. He also knows three yoyo tricks — but just three. Don’t ask him to do any more than that. > Digital Media
  • Jonathan Riley Senior Programmer Jonathan loves Rubik’s cubes and hockey. The Rubik’s cube hobby certainly comes in handy around the office, considering he works in the problem-solving world of web development. The hockey part? Not so much. > Digital Media
  • Kenny Wilson Web Developer Kenny enjoys gaming and pancakes. That’s pretty much it. No, we kid. He also enjoys listening to Rush, eating ice cream and planning elaborate casino heists. > Digital Media
  • Brett Gaither Digital Specialist Like a good millennial, Brett spends his day in front of computers, as well as fielding constant questioning from older colleagues about “what kids are into these days.” Which is NBA 2K13, apparently. > Digital Media
  • Jeremy Paine Workflow Manager Not only is JP a Workflow extraordinaire, he’s also computer genius. You’d never know it, though — he’s way too humble to brag about himself (we’re happy to do it for him). In his down time, you can catch him reading fantasy and sci-fi novels, as well as preparing for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. > Workflow
  • Daniel Wickliff Workflow Manager Daniel likes to relieve stress by riding his bicycle. Did we mention he’s a massive Notre Dame football fan? Yep, he spends a lot of time on that bike... > Workflow
  • Ebony Coleman Executive Assistant As an executive assistant, Ebony spends her days directing two very busy schedules. Which is sort of like plate spinning combined with fire juggling, but riskier. > Administration
  • Michele Petty Receptionist There is no hell in this Michele. When you step off the elevator, the first smiling face you see at Signature is Michele’s. She spends her days handling phone calls, business inquiries, nervous breakdowns and endless compliments on her red hair. > Administration
  • Rhett Douglas Runner Rhett enjoys playing the guitar, writing music and then recording it. He’s also a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie, which serves him well in the advertising industry. > Administration
