Sage Holdings Rebranded as King Worldwide
Thursday, November 19, 2009
DF King Worldwide (“King Worldwide”) is the new name of Sage Holdings, the leading global financial communications and stakeholder management firm. In conjunction with the rebranding, a new corporate website has been designed by one of King Worldwide’s own companies, Stockholm-based Hallvarsson & Halvarsson, and launched at www.king-worldwide.com. A range of global marketing initiatives is supporting the change.
Dr. Oliver Niedermaier, President and Chief Executive Officer of King Worldwide, commented: “The King Worldwide name emphasizes our global presence and affirms our position as a leader in high-end consulting, analytics and processing services. It also communicates strength and durability. This is appropriate because, although the holding company is young, many of the brands it brings together have long and distinguished histories. That pedigree is among the attributes which separates King Worldwide from its competitors.”
The re-branding is an important milestone for the Group and follows the recent designation of King Worldwide as a Global Growth Company by the World Economic Forum.
“Clearly the King Worldwide story has found traction beyond our industry, and prominent people and organizations recognize our success to date and our potential,” said Dr Niedermaier. “Among the criteria for admission to the Community of Global Growth Companies is ‘the capacity and intent to build a global business.’ Our successful acquisitions worldwide and our ever-expanding base of satisfied customers attest to that,” he continued.
