A lot was happening in 1995. Bill Clinton was in the Oval Office, O.J. Simpson was on trial, and Toy Story was the first computer-generated movie in theaters. Here in Seattle, Windows ’95 was a hot topic of conversation as Microsoft kept growing and growing. Also in Seattle, McNamara Signs was just getting started. A small family business, this little company was a startup before there were startups. Specializing in banners early on, the company continued to grow. Today, thanks to their commitment to quality and innovation, McNamara Signs continues to be a leader in custom sign making for Seattle.
In 20 years as a successful small business, McNamara Signs has learned a thing or two. They have treated each client as an opportunity to perfect their skills, and learn something new. From their design consultation services, and custom fabrication, the McNamara team works to effectively capture each message their client hopes to share. Along the way they’ve expanded their studio space, acquired new machines, and grown their staff. All of this they’ve done to serve their growing list of satisfied clients.
As their family business has grown, so too has the McNamara family. Each step of the way the McNamaras have shared their talents with the community. This year alone they are involved with community fundraising for both a college and a high school. Mike McNamara also has a deep love of the Seattle Seahawks and can often be found on Saturdays making custom gear to cheer on his favorite team. For each of the Seahawks’ Super Bowl games Mike has gotten in touch with sign companies in the rival states for friendly wagers involving custom banners.
When the weekend is over though, it’s back to work for the McNamara Sign Company. Work to them is more about getting something done, it’s about getting it done right. Each member of the McNamara Sign Team has different strengths, but they all share a commitment to quality that has been the cornerstone of the company’s success. While sign-making technology has changed, making production easier and faster, for the entire 20 years of their history they have never sacrificed quality of construction. They take pride in seeing their custom signs weather the rain and wind, still looking brand new.
As they acquire each new machine for their studio they expand the capabilities of their team. After 20 years they are all still learning new ways to make great signs. Their customers are their inspiration and the McNamara team works tirelessly to bring them new services and products. The McNamara commitment to craftsmanship and innovation has been their golden ticket to success. Just like the banner they made for the Seattle Mariners- they refuse to lose.
