A Los Angeles digital agency alternative: one team for AI, cloud, growth and creative
22 Signals works with established Los Angeles companies that need AI, cloud and data, websites and apps, search, paid media, video and 3D handled by one team. One Signal Lead runs the work, review calls are booked at times that suit you, and every date we agree goes in writing.
Looking for a Los Angeles digital agency? Start with one lead
We deliver to LA clients remotely, through one accountable lead, the Signal Lead, who runs your work across AI, engineering, marketing and production. Specialist teams sit behind that lead, but you only need one contact, one shared channel and one written plan to know where everything stands.
That matters in a city where a mid-sized brand can easily end up with a web shop in Culver City, a paid social agency in Santa Monica, a freelance editor in Burbank and an IT contractor somewhere in the Valley. We replace that juggling with one team and one plan. If you were searching for a Los Angeles digital agency because you wanted fewer vendors, that is the problem we solve.
The Los Angeles companies we are built for
We are built for established companies with 5 to 500 staff that already have customers and revenue, and need more done than their own team can carry. Founders and startups come second.
- Entertainment, streaming and media businesses around Hollywood, Burbank and Culver City
- Fashion, beauty and wellness brands, many of them selling direct to consumers online
- E-commerce and DTC companies on the Westside and in Silicon Beach (Santa Monica, Venice, Playa Vista)
- Aerospace and engineering suppliers in the South Bay, around El Segundo, Hawthorne and Long Beach
- Clinics, aesthetics practices, dental groups and health tech companies
- Real estate developers, brokerages and property managers across the county
- Law firms and professional services in Downtown LA and Century City
AI and data: consulting, automation and business intelligence
AI consulting. LA leadership teams are under pressure to show AI progress, especially in media and retail where competitors talk about it loudly. We rank the use cases by value and effort, check them against California privacy rules, and pilot the one that pays. Read more on our AI consulting in Los Angeles page.
AI automation. Agencies, production companies and DTC brands in LA tend to run on email threads, shared spreadsheets and a CRM nobody trusts. We build the automations and internal tools that move work between them, with a person signing off where it counts.
Business intelligence. When sales data sits in Shopify, Amazon, retail partners and ad platforms, nobody agrees on margin. We build the warehouse and dashboards so finance, marketing and operations read the same number.
Cloud, web and apps
Cloud consulting. Media companies move huge files and spike traffic on release days; aerospace suppliers carry strict access rules. We design and run architecture on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure, with security reviews and cost checks built in.
Web development. For LA brands the website is often the shop, the press kit and the booking desk at once. We build and rebuild sites that load fast, keep their rankings through a migration and are easy for the marketing team to edit.
App development. Fan apps, member apps, booking apps and client portals: we build iOS, Android and web apps, handle payments and app store launch, and support them after release.
Search and paid media
SEO and GEO. Los Angeles County is dozens of separate cities, so people search "Pasadena dentist" or "Santa Monica med spa", not just "LA". We plan local search around that, and use generative engine optimization so your business shows up in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overview answers too.
Paid media. LA ad auctions are crowded and expensive in beauty, legal and real estate. We run Google, Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok campaigns with creative made in-house, call tracking and a CRM connection, so spend is judged on leads and sales rather than clicks.
Video, animation and 3D rendering
Video, animation and AI video. LA has no shortage of film crews, so we do not compete as one. We make motion graphics, explainers, 2D and 3D animation, short-form edits and clearly labeled AI video remotely, and edit footage your own crew shoots.
3D rendering. Photoreal product renders, packaging and campaign visuals for beauty and fashion launches, plus interior and architectural visuals for real estate, without booking a studio day.
How a Los Angeles project runs, week by week
Every project starts with a 15-minute call, then discovery and a written roadmap within 5 to 7 days. After that, calls are set at times that work for your team, updates arrive in one shared channel, and each piece of work is checked by our team before it reaches you. You always know what was done last week and what is due next.
If a project genuinely needs someone on site, for a workshop or a launch, we plan a visit when the project needs it.
California rules we plan around
Any work that touches customer data in California is shaped by the CCPA as amended by the CPRA. That affects tracking pixels, consent banners, opt-out signals, CRM data and AI tools that make decisions about people. Clinics also have California's medical privacy law to respect. We flag these early and build to them; your lawyers make the final call.
What working with us has looked like
We have worked with more than 30 companies, from US law firms and aesthetics practices to live esports tournaments. One example that fits LA well: a managed video editing team we run for a US client, briefed and reviewed through one lead.
Questions
What should we prepare before the first call?
Very little. A short note on what you want to change, links to your website and any ad or analytics accounts, and the names of the people who will approve work. If you have past reports or a brief from another agency, send those too. We use the first call to agree what discovery covers and who we need to speak to.
Why choose us over a local Los Angeles digital agency?
Because one lead covers AI, cloud, builds, search, ads and creative, which few local shops do. A common pattern: companies come for one thing, often a website, SEO or AI automation, and then hand us the work around it because the same lead already knows the business. Creative work like animation and 3D renders often joins once the growth work is running.
How do you report progress on a Los Angeles project?
Your Signal Lead sends a written update on an agreed schedule, usually weekly, covering what was done, what is next and anything waiting on your team. Every agreed date is in writing, and a fuller report each month shows results against the goals set in the roadmap.
Can you work with our in-house marketing or IT team?
Yes, and most established companies have one. We take the work the team cannot get to, agree who owns what, and report to whoever you name. Some clients use us for one service alongside their staff, others for the whole growth and technology program.
Do you follow California privacy law?
We build with the CCPA and CPRA in mind from the start: consent and opt-out handling on websites, careful use of tracking pixels, data access controls and records of what personal data a system uses. We are not a law firm, so we work alongside your counsel on final decisions.
How much does it cost to work with 22 Signals?
It depends on scope. The main factors are which services you need, how much already exists, how many systems we connect, how fast you need it and whether the work is a project or ongoing. We scope it on a short call and send a written plan with dates before any work starts.
Book a 15-minute call.
A fit check, not a pitch. A few questions, an honest answer and a clear next step. Not every call ends in a proposal.
