About Sarah Belzer, The Anti-Agency
Through strategic brand positioning, Sarah Belzer helps to drive the brand perceptions responsible for decision-making, and generate the affinity, trust and the allegiance critical to their growth.
Founder Sarah Belzer began her career in the television and film industries in Los Angeles, but it wasn't long before she was Shanghaied by a handful of Madison Avenue's swankiest advertising agencies (Ogilvy, Saatchi & Saatchi and Wunderman, for starters) where she worked on some of the largest brands in the world. Sarah went on to work for the internal agency at the New York Times and later launched her anti-agency where she continues to provide awesome stuff to brands small and large.
Why an 'anti' agency you ask? After working with the bigwigs, Sarah wanted to create an environment of stellar talent without the rigmarole that often interferes with great results and happy clients. At Sarah Belzer Col, clients are heard, deadlines are met, and brands flourish.
