Research & Strategic Consulting

Understand your market. Spot the right opportunities. Build a smarter plan.

Sometimes the big picture feels fuzzy — or worse, deceptively clear. That’s when an outside perspective can save you time, money, and false starts. I help tech-driven businesses validate ideas, uncover market opportunities, and pressure-test go-to-market strategies.

  • Market Research & Opportunity Assessment
  • Competitive Analysis & Positioning
  • Go-to-Market Strategy Development
  • Sales & Channel Strategy

Marketing Program Development

Build a system that works — not just a bunch of disconnected tactics.

Most businesses don’t fail at marketing because they aren’t trying, they fail because there’s no firm plan, no efficient system, and no clear way to execute. I help you build solid, scalable programs that drive real results. Better yet, most of the time it’s using the resources you already have.

  • Brand Strategy, Positioning & Messaging
  • Go-to-Market Program Design
  • Channel Program Development
  • Marketing Toolkit Creation
  • Process Design & Team Training

Marketing Communications

Clarify your message. Amplify your reach. Boost your sales.

You know your business — but if your message isn’t landing, none of it works. I help you craft messaging that makes sense to your market and turn it into a communication engine that supports every part of your sales and marketing effort.

  • Multi-Channel Marcom Content Development (advertising, email, press relations, social media, speaking, trade shows, etc.)
  • Toolkit Creation & Automation
  • KPI & Metrics Planning & Execution

Fractional or Interim Executive

Get senior marketing leadership without the cost of full-time overhead.

Sometimes you need experienced marketing leadership, but only for a season. Whether you’re trying to level up a junior team, prepare for a raise or acquisition, or just need a steady hand to build and manage the strategy — I step in as an interim or fractional marketing lead to move things forward and set you up for success.

  • Team Development & Right-Sizing
  • Sales/Marketing Process Integration & Lead Management
  • CRM Strategy & Implementation
  • Corporate Positioning & Brand Strategy
  • Exit / Fundraising / Investor Communications

No Theories Here. Just Marketing Proven Again and Again

From zero to acquisition to IPO, I’ve helped build companies that grow on the strength of marketing that works.

I’m an engineer and entrepreneur and didn’t have a clue about marketing. Sage understood my businesses’ challenges, saw the opportunities, and worked with me and my team to develop a go-to-market program that was easy to execute, within my budget, and ultimately very successful.

Eric H., Architectural Engineer

Everything about marketing seemed so overwhelming I didn’t even know how to get started. Sage broke it down for me, showed me where to start, and got my business off and running. I couldn’t have done it without him.

Lindsay A., Landscape Architect

We had no idea what to do next with marketing. Sage developed a clear plan, got it moving, and taught us how to keep it going on our own. Exactly what we needed.

John G., Startup Founder

We spent a lot of money on marketing tools but were always underwhelmed with the results. Sage came in, assessed our tools, and helped us focus our efforts on the things that worked while ditching the things that didn’t. We not only saved a lot of money, but our sales pipeline doubled in just a few months!

Henry W., Cybersecurity Consultant

I’m the only person in marketing at our company and I was overwhelmed with work. Sage came in, assessed what I was doing, and showed me how to streamline and automate almost everything so I could focus on lead generation. Our results are so good, people think I have a team of 3 or 4 people when it’s still just me!

Alexis P., Marketing Manager

My team was really struggling to develop and execute a sales and marketing plan. Sage came in, worked with my biz dev and sales support teams, and helped develop a clear plan with a budget, deliverables and success metrics. Now my team is hitting their goals month in and month out!

David B., Small Business CEO

We really struggled with developing a marketing program that supported our sales goals. Sage helped develop a clear strategy and then implemented the systems and tools to meet those goals. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

Ethan S., Healthcare Services Exec.

Sage has an innate ability to identify a company’s assets, double down on what’s working, and either fix or eliminate the things that aren’t. My team loves working with him because he has a clarity that helps them feel confident and be successful.

Cheryl S., Tech Exec

Not Sure What You Need? Let’s Talk.

Whether you need a full program, an outside perspective, or someone to help guide your team — it starts with a simple conversation. No pressure. Just clarity.
