Here’s what some of our clients have to say...

“Sage Communications is extremely innovative with creative, copy and offer development. Among my clients’ publications, Sage holds the most controls of any creative team I’ve worked with across many different print and digital promotions.”
— Jim Motrinec, Senior Consumer Marketing Director, ProCirc

“Sage is great to work with and their creativeness is outstanding which I can attest to since they won our renewal controls for several efforts across all 13 of our titles.”
— Tom Pesik, Associate Consumer Marketing Director, AM

“Sage's ability to turn efficient and effective packages around on a dime has made them my go-to agency for new creative.”
— Roni Stein, Shain + Oringer

“I was hoping to save a little money by cutting down on the number of mailed efforts without hurting our response. But we not only saved money, we also increased our overall cumulative response rate at the same time. We couldn’t be more pleased with our new renewal series from Sage.”
— Kevin Walter, Vice President for Strategy and Business Development at Mother Jones

“The proof of Josef and Anne Kottler’s value is that Cook’s Illustrated new control offer (which Sage Communications developed) has lifted net response by more than 50%.  Josef and Anne approach each project with a combination of fresh thinking and knowledge of industry trends that has lead to improvements in a number of areas for Cook’s Illustrated – including subscription acquisition, gift donor, and renewal efforts.”
— David Mack, Vice President, Marketing, Cook’s Illustrated

“Sage Communications is by far the most talented, organized, and efficient team I’ve ever worked with. They investigated every detail, and then hit the nail on the head!”
— Lori Birney, Circulation Director, Baltimore Magazine

“If you are thinking about new direct mail creative for any of your publishing clients, I would highly recommend that you speak to Anne Kottler and her husband Josef at Sage. I just finished a project with them where they EXCEEDED my expectations, and that is not easy to do. Also, they are really trail blazing when it comes to taking the Voucher package format to the next level.”
— Chris Cordua, Directivity

“The Sage Communications Group is innovative, creative and smart; always delivering effective direct response creative while cleverly integrating our essential brand elements. I love working with the Sage team!”
— Anne Marie O’Keefe, Consumer Marketing Director, Mansueto

“I have had the privilege of working with Sage Communications and Pure Design Co. on projects ranging from packaging design, product nomenclature, print advertising campaigns, POP materials, and trade show booth design. I have found that they display a tremendous insight into the Natural Foods consumer that is lacking in many non-specialized design firms. They bring practicality and functionality to the table and this has allowed for seamless project execution.”
— Eugene Lye, Director of Sales & Marketing, VITASOY Canada & Asia

“Sage’s marketing savvy is top notch, and they are a pleasure to work with. Their package was one of our strongest mailings ever (we remailed it profitably more than 9 times). They approach a project like investigative reporters, immersing themselves in your product and the minds of your audience. Review their samples and you'll see what I mean.”
— Andrew Young, Marketing Director, Sounds True
