KickCharge Creative is a full-service, award-winning advertising agency that’s setting the standard for marketing small and mid-sized businesses in everything from branding, vehicle advertising and print collateral to web design and digital strategy. We offer complete marketing solutions for small businesses in one convenient place, and we specialize in delivering results for contractors.
Our team understands how to make a company competitive by creating a powerful brand identity and implementing it as the foundation of effective marketing strategies that ensure growth and success. We’re even doing it ourselves; we recently rebranded, evolving from our original identity as Graphic D-Signs to accurately reflect the marketing powerhouse we’ve become.
We started out small and have grown into a 20-person dynamo of design, content and programming specialists who—combined with conscientious project managers—help define your business’s identity, enhance your image and gain marketplace momentum.
At our helm is President and Creative Director Dan Antonelli, who has published three books on small business branding and logo design, including his latest, Building a Big Small Business Brand.
Washington, NJ, is our home base, where we have expanded into a new, custom-built space that will better suit our recent and future growth. From our Warren County office, we get the electricity flowing for clients across the country and even around the world. Our project management software and other digital solutions allow us to stay connected no matter where you’re located, and we always love an opportunity to get together in person, too.

As your brand ambassador, we blend creativity with strategy. Our process is built on research, open dialogue and transparency. We rely on project management software and other digital tools to keep us organized and on schedule, utilize internal brainstorming and peer review, provide ample opportunities for feedback and discussion, and educate our clients about best practices. These tactics connect to create deliverables that do their job and help you meet your goals.
We feel most rewarded when our creativity and bold strategies fuel your fortune. But we can’t say that we mind when our peers and industry influencers recognize our work. Please excuse us while we brag just a little about the hundreds of awards we’ve won and dozens of articles we’ve published in trade publications.
Because we care about our clients’ success, KickCharge Creative has affiliations with reputable contractor networks that support their members through recommendations, education, best practices and other services. We’ve joined forces with these teams to ensure the nation’s best contractors can take advantage of financial savings and enjoy easy access to our strategic marketing guidance.
