When a UK-based, globally recognized business software company looked to set down roots with their first US headquarters, they needed an agency that spoke the language.

Sage

Sage

As the first US agency ever to work with Sage on their employer brand, we needed to translate their ambition to recruit high-performers into an idea that would resonate with an American audience. And in a sports-obsessed town like Atlanta, we knew the message that would land: winning.

Borrowing from the world of sports, we created a campaign that rallied prospective candidates to get off the sidelines and put points on the board, while preparing them for a work culture that valued achievement.

It was important to Sage that they showed up in a way that felt authentic to who they are and consistent with their brand worldwide. So we worked within a meticulously orchestrated visual world to create a campaign that also adapted that brand to the local audience.  

Looking at the results and peering ahead to a continued partnership with Sage, we’re excited to have found an unlock for helping a multinational company establish a foothold in the US. You might even say we’re chuffed.
