Samah Shaiq joins Signal following stints as Deputy Press Secretary for both U.S. Department of Energy and Speaker Pelosi
Washington, D.C., January 21, 2024 – Signal Group, a leading integrated, independent public affairs firm in Washington, D.C., today announced the hiring of Samah Shaiq as Senior Manager. Samah brings to Signal energy and conservation policy and press experience from both Capitol Hill and the Biden-Harris Administration’s Department of Energy (DOE), where she was a political appointee in the agency’s Office of Public Affairs.
“I am excited to join Signal at a time when American energy independence is at the forefront of the conversation,” said Samah Shaiq. “I look forward to applying the expertise I’ve accrued in both Congress and the recent Administration to Signal’s broad portfolio of clients.”
Samah joins Signal at a time of growth for its Outdoors practice group, which includes a cross-section of companies, coalitions, and causes that focus on renewable energy, recreation, conservation, ocean protection, and climate policy. This Practice Group is led by Signal’s CEO Blake Androff and EVP Jess McCarron—both longtime energy and environment policy and communications experts.
“Samah’s deep experience in government and energy policy will be a welcome addition to clients in our Signal Outdoors practice group and beyond,” added Jess McCarron. “We are continuing to grow as a firm, and in turn, add talented public affairs experts who can diversify our service offerings and provide exceptional strategy to the clients we serve.”
As Signal announced its full independence last March—and approaches one year of independence—the growing team continues to help clients navigate an ever-changing policy and media environment. For more information on Signal Group’s modern public affairs offerings, visit https://signaldc.com/.
