Build the signal your market can’t miss.

01The Signal

Great products don’t sell themselves.

The market has to understand what makes you different, believe you’re worth paying attention to, and encounter you often enough to act.

Make it clear.
Make it credible.
Put it to work.
03Why Vertical Signal

Built on experience. Focused on growth.

Vertical Signal is led by Austin Young, a hands-on operator whose career has been built in environments where the message had to create action, not just attention.

  1. Built

    From zero to 20+ countries.

    Launched an outdoor brand from the ground up and grew it into an international customer base.

  2. Persuaded

    When the outcome mattered.

    Helped shape successful advocacy, public affairs, and ballot initiative campaigns where clarity and execution had real consequences.

  3. Scaled

    From early stage to ~$6M.

    Helped scale a venture-backed B2B company, build its commercial marketing infrastructure, and support the story behind an $18M Series A.

One operator across strategy, creative, communications, and growth.
