How did it all start?
Red Sage was founded in 2006 and grew to become the largest communications agency in northern Alabama. The name indicates the company’s dedication to helping clients stand out and be visible in their industries, as the color red stands out, while providing sage, practical and strategic advice.
Didier’s professional background began with a small marketing company focused on providing marketing services to pump distributors and other industrial and B2B clients. Red Sage worked with B2B clients long before social media and the need for a digital presence became important tools in the toolbox.. In the beginning, Red Sage originally focused on branding and traditional media, then aggressively expanded its services as the digital marketing world began to develop and evolve, rapidly growing the company.

Other suitable platforms for growing your business and supporting recruitment efforts are Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, depending on the audience a business is targeting. Tiktok is being utilized by B2B companies in recruiting efforts to reach the youngest members of the workforce and recent high school graduates.
