“Shortly after we started Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, a business acquaintance asked me how we were managing to get so much coverage in the press. I told him our secret was our relationship with Strategic Vantage. Ever since we engaged them as our marketing and PR agency, I feel like I can’t pick up a publication without seeing us quoted somewhere, whether it’s the New York Times, American Banker, or the mortgage industry press.
Not only does Strategic Vantage make us look good with their excellent writing and connections with the press, they have helped us create great marketing materials. They are a team of real marketing and PR professionals with decades of experience in lending and technology, which other agencies cannot match. What we have been able to achieve in a short period of time is nothing short of incredible.”

“Thrilled! That's how I would say we feel about working with Strategic Vantage. We started working with them in 2005, prior to which we had worked with numerous agencies. Their caliber of work, commitment, and results are unmatched - not to mention their tremendous influence in the industry. Strategic Vantage has truly been an integral part of Ellie Mae's success over the past few years.”

“Choosing Strategic Vantage was one of the best decisions Sterling Home Retention has made as a company. We have gained immediate respect and traction in the marketplace as a direct result from the work Strategic Vantage has done. Rosalie Berg and her team epitomize the word "professionalism" in everything they do. From setting up exclusive interviews to writing press releases to designing ads, they are a "one stop shop" for creating brand recognition within the financial services industry.
Other firms simply cannot compete with the level of competence, number of key media contacts, or straight-up execution Rosalie and her team bring to the table each and every day. They give guidance without being pushy, and they follow up without nagging -- a refreshing style given how busy we all are in this economic climate. In short, Strategic Vantage is at the top of its game and Sterling considers it a privilege to be associated with such a world-class organization.”

“Strategic Vantage has been an integral part of Rapid Reporting’s business plan implementation. They know the business, constantly have fresh, new ideas and can get you where you need to be in the industry. I would not give up our relationship with Strategic Vantage for the world. They can take ideas and put them in words better than anyone I have dealt with in 10 years in the industry. They are real pros.”

“Strategic Vantage has contributed significantly to our success. I could not imagine trying to bring a new product or expand into a new marketplace without using this team of professionals.”

“The fine folks at Strategic Vantage have been invaluable to Fairway. Their collective expertise, professional approach, and talent have enabled Fairway to gain positive exposure in the ever-changing mortgage climate. While we have only worked with them for a little over one year, the results have been phenomenal.”
Steve Jacobson, President
Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation
“The results from Strategic Vantage have been nothing short of amazing. Let's face it, anyone can purchase an ad... but most people take advertisements with a grain of salt. So when you are instead promoted and seen in the media as an expert in your field - how can you even begin to put a price tag on that kind of credibility? And as if that weren't enough, the Strategic Vantage team is a true pleasure to work with - they handle all the details professionally and personally - and always ensure that our goals are being reached successfully.”

“It’s hard to find a good PR firm with the marketing depth to really understand your business, yet Strategic Vantage has the seasoned talent in both areas to professionally represent any firm and need. Most of the agencies I have seen take a cookie cutter approach to PR and marketing mainly because they lack the broad knowledge to really do it right and represent their client. Not so with Strategic Vantage, which is head and shoulders over the competition.”

“In my 20 years of business, I’ve never worked with a marketing group that’s done a better job than Strategic Vantage. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a lot of publicists, writers and marketing people, and usually I’d end up with disconnected material through a process that would have been a lot easier if I’d just written it myself. Strategic Vantage understands the business and shines at getting copy to convey our specific goals and vision."
“Strategic Vantage’s marketing group is always one to two steps ahead. They’re always working to find ways to create higher visibility and more opportunities in the marketplace, which in turn helps us to become better marketers. Plus, Strategic Vantage’s billing structure ensures that everything is focused around the delivery of tangible tools and performance. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results I’m getting.”

“Being in the news is one thing. Being newsworthy and in the right places is the best thing. For me, Strategic Vantage has helped me remain in the news arenas that I know. In addition, Strategic Vantage has brought me to new venues, all the while enabling me to refine my message yet stay uniquely who I am. I could not have done that on my own.”

“Strategic Vantage has been fantastic in consistently promoting our company to the industry and helping us to shape and form our messages to the market. That help has not only been in the press, but also in the design and creation of marketing efforts as we’ve grown. We think of Strategic Vantage as a critical part of our marketing team.”

“I have been working with Rosalie Berg and her firm for many years now. Her experience and great attention to detail has changed my company. Her advice has always been priceless and has guided us to exposure we could only dream of. Saruski Design Studio has been in business for over fifteen years but until Strategic Vantage was involved, the public was unaware of our capacity. I highly recommend Rosalie Berg and her firm for changing your business.”
