Meet the Team

we are serious about our work, but we try to not take ourselves too seriously.

DOUG LARSON

Chief Marketologist

Doug is the Principal and Founder (2002) of Sage Marketing Group. His marketing background consists of Fortune 100 level training on brand development, integrated marketing communications, event marketing and production as previous co-owner of TeamSage Productions and strategic marketing. When he’s not in the office, his first escape would be spending time with his wife and two children. As time allows, you would most likely find him on a river fishing. While he likes to fish he mostly likes to hang out where the fish live.

Anne has been obsessed with writing and marketing for more than 20 years. Her expertise is in all things words for digital marketing campaigns, website content/SEO, branding and messaging, and any other tactical approach that helps Sage clients reach their goals. When she’s not in the office, you can often find her on her bike in the mountains where she’s known to email herself with new marketing ideas that popped into her head while hammering a trail.
