About us
We chose our name thoughtfully, combining salt’s ability to refine, preserve and improve with sage’s wisdom, harmony and positivity.
At Salt & Sage, we draw on our 40+ years of combined experience as journalists, writers, and brand storytellers to uncover and tell authentic stories with real flavour.
As “salty” people, it’s no surprise that we say it how it is. We challenge you, ask tough questions and encourage you to go against the grain. But we do this because we care. We love nothing more than getting into your cause and inspiring you — and the talented creatives we collaborate with — to make a difference.
We’re on a mission to banish fluff and corporate jargon. We like to keep messaging simple, minimal and honest, adding a pinch of editorial flair to spice things up. No matter where you are on your business journey, investing in a words-first strategy will position you as an authentic thought leader and create a compelling narrative that you can weave through all your communications.
