CHICAGO – Oct. 12, 2010 – Signal™ (www.signalhq.com) — a provider of SaaS cross-channel marketing tools and interactive campaign consultative services — announced today that Vibes Media has licensed components of the company’s mobile marketing technology. Also based in Chicago, Vibes Media is a leading mobile marketing company that combines its unique blend of connectivity, platform and mobile expertise to meet the needs of hundreds of marketers and publishers.

Since Signal’s founding in 2006, its successful online system for mobile marketing has processed more than 160,000 client campaigns.

As part of its strategy to broaden its portfolio of services, Vibes has licensed a key piece of software from Signal that will enable Vibes to enhance the text message marketing capabilities for some of its clients. The announcement follows recent news of Vibes’ acquisition of Zeep Mobile, a provider of mobile advertising solutions.

Jeff Judge, Signal CEO and co-founder, described the move as validation of the company’s technology excellence. “Vibes Media recognized the value of our technology and saw how it could further enable some of their clients to engage their customers in the mobile channel,” said Judge. “Providing Vibes with proven technology to help accelerate the growth of their business represented a productive opportunity for both companies as well as the clients each serves.”

According to Charley Cassell, CFO, Vibes Media, licensing Signal’s technology helps accelerate the company’s strategy and broaden its industry leading mobile marketing capabilities. “We are extremely excited to announce this agreement as it will enhance our existing platform and technology suite, as well as have a tremendous impact on our ability to meet the future needs of our clients.
