Entrepreneur. Art Director. Innovator. Fine Artist. Marketer. Bruce Staebler began his career at the youthful age of 19 painting advertising billboards, presaging things to come. He has been in some form of the ad business for his entire adult life with several stints at major Madison Avenue agencies until he decided to go it on his own, founding Signature Brand Factory in 1988.

As Chief Creative Officer, Bruce has led the development of numerous outstanding advertising campaigns including John Wiley & Sons, Foxwoods Resort and Casino, the University of Connecticut, TruBlu Logistics, Naugatuck Savings Bank, Sikorsky, HBO, Duracell, Otis Elevator, Chase Bank, Kraft/General Foods, Smirnoff, IBM, GE and many product and institutional campaigns for Fresenius Medical Care.

But his canvas extends far beyond that. He is a real estate entrepreneur – his most high profile project involved the complete renovation of a blighted Nut and Bolt factory from the 19th century, transforming it into a industrial strength mecca of exposed brick and smooth contours – has begun new business ventures in hospitality and healthcare, is an accomplished fine artist and an avid weekend sailor. Based in central Connecticut, Bruce enjoys spending his free time on Long Island Sound and the Miami Beach area.
