Why I Quit My 8-5 Job and Started a Fractional CMO Marketing Company

Why I Quit My 8-5 Job and Started a Fractional CMO Marketing Company

Hey there! I’m Ruben, the formerly unemployable founder of 8 SIGNAL (that’s *mostly* a joke, but being outspoken with lots of ideas never made a great employee)! 

A little about me: I was raised in a Mexican household where business and entrepreneurship were the norm. I love tinkering with ideas, and woodworking is my favorite hobby. During college, I fell in love with the world of marketing… and with my lovely wife. And (as of the date of publication) we have NINE kids together — yes, NINE.

After the ’08 market crash, I put my passion for marketing into overdrive, absorbing every bit of knowledge I could. Then in November of 2014, I launched the company that’s now 8 SIGNAL.

Unemployable Tinkerer Turned Fractional CMO Expert

So why did I leave the bliss of clocking out at 4:55 PM at an eight-to-five, Monday-through-Friday job… for the wild world of 8 SIGNAL? 

Because I love the thrill of creating marketing strategies and systems that actually work!

As a natural-born tinkerer (with a knack for woodworking and an… um… “allergy” to following rules), I channel my passion for helping business get measurable results into building and mentoring a team of “A” players at 8 SIGNAL. Together, we equip and lead EOS-friendly companies and faith-based, entrepreneurially-minded nonprofits with fractional CMO services that cut through the noise and lead to laser-focused growth.
