From a custom mailbox company to a turnkey signage leader in the Southeast
United States
TAMPA, Fla., January 2016 – Creative Sign Designs is proud to announce that it will be celebrating its 30th
anniversary in 2016 as a leading developer of innovative designs and consultative sign solutions.
In an era when manufacturing companies come and go, Creative has achieved three decades of
innovation and exponential growth. To mark the occasion, Creative will be unveiling a number of
updates in marketing, facilities, technology and employee engagement.
Rebranding of the company’s marketing strategy includes new design and content for the paper and
electronic marketing materials used by the sales department and a user-friendly, responsive website.
This rebranding has been in the works for the past several months and the goal is to achieve a cutting-
edge, high-design profile to match the clients Creative partners with.
With the addition of a second building only minutes away from the Tampa headquarters in 2015, the
Creative team is anticipating the plans for the added space in the Creative headquarters building. A
remodel to the front-end office will include new bathrooms, an open-concept reception area and
functional work stations. The fabrication and manufacturing warehouse is being updated with clearly-
defined work stations, a state-of-the-art water jet machine for routing and an upgraded fleet of
installation trucks and vans. Creative will host an open-house event to showcase the facility growth and
development in the fall of 2016.
“We positively guide people,” is the Creative mission. Achieving 30 years in business is a testament to
the positive people who work and invest in Creative day in and day out. Over the next twelve months,
employees of Creative will receive a surprise the 30th
of every month in the spirit of celebrating the
success and people who make it possible. In addition to this, the management team is dedicated to
specialized training for every employee, refocusing the structure of teams to be most efficient and
revaluating the way business is done from sale to install.
Upgrades to existing products throughout the 30-year history of the company reflect Creative’s ongoing
commitment to delivering innovative, powerful, and robust signage solutions. As the client base has
expanded the focus remains on delivering unique sign products, superior workmanship and excellent
customer service. Creative’s goal is to achieve meticulous planning to produce cost efficient and timely
products.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2. Creative began as a small custom mailbox operation in the founder’s garage more than thirty years ago.
The idea of creating custom, decorative mailboxes would add personality and 'curb appeal' to the
American home was a hit and the business soon took off. In due time, with developers and builders
clamoring for consistency in the streetscape of their communities, the company started providing
decorative street signage to complement the mailboxes.
In 2005, President and CEO Jaime Harden, Investor Larry Morgan and Vice President of Sales Kelly
Crandall purchased Creative and capitalized on the growing manufacturing and designing segment of
the signage industry. After relocating to a 44,000 square-foot, integrated, manufacturing facility in
Tampa, FL. business boomed. The company has since grown to a $22 million dollar company providing
unique signage and mailboxes nationwide.
Creative has been listed as one of Inc. 5000’s fastest growing companies for the past five consecutive
years, received numerous national design awards and named business of the year by numerous local
chambers of commerce.
