      Advertising Review from Mike Robinson

      They were super helpful, and very enthusiastic -- their listicle efforts moved a lot of books for me, as did opportunities provided by their presence at festivals and the contests they co-sponsor. They're at once very professional and family-like; a group of passionate readers seeking to help authors.

      Small Business Review from Brianna Provda

      It was an absolute pleasure working with Desiree, Dave, and Jei at Black Château. We were very careful and deliberate when choosing our PR firm, and we knew from the beginning that they were a great match. Before we even worked together, they took the time to thoughtfully answer our questions, demonstrated depth and attention to detail in the way they researched and marketed our book, and approached every interaction with kindness and professionalism. Once we made it official, we knew we made the right choice, and they showed up for us throughout the entire process. They consistently went above and beyond to answer our questions, assist with unexpected priorities, and keep us organized and on task. They were communicative, professional, flexible, and always kind and warm, the type of people you genuinely want to build a working relationship with. This was our first time promoting a book, and they made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, not only through their patient explanations and guidance, but also through the results they delivered. They brought our book a level of visibility that we would not have been able to achieve on our own and helped us navigate the publishing and publicity process with greater clarity and confidence. We were not always the easiest clients, and priorities occasionally shifted, but they were always willing to jump in, help, and pivot wherever needed. They treated our book and its mission with genuine care, and it always felt as though they were personally invested in helping it succeed. We are extremely happy with the progress and recognition our book received, and a huge part of that success was due to the expertise, diligence, creativity, and hard work of the Black Château team. I would absolutely recommend them to any author or organization looking for a thoughtful, strategic, and dedicated PR partner, and I look forward to working together again in the future.

      I have had the pleasure of working with Glenn and his team many times over the last 6 years. As a strategic marketing consultant, having a reliable, strategic and affordable creative partner is critical. Sagon-Phior is my go-to for clients looking for a brand launch, refresh or just high quality design.

      James Colford's Review Sourced from Google

      This review has been a longtime coming. I have had the pleasure of working with both Rio and more recently Glenn on countless branding and marketing projects for financial services, healthcare and technology clients. Every time I bring them onto a project, they feel like an extension of both my team and the client. To them its more than just another project. Because of that, they're my go-to creative partners any time I need to explore a new brand direction with a client or need additional expertise on strategic marketing execution. They have decades of industry experience and produce quality creative. I think they're a good fit if you're looking to reach your audience on a deeper level and create a long lasting impression with your customer base.

      Glenn Sagon and Rio Phior are the best at helping clients uncover insights that lead to great marketing strategy, branding and advertising. I've been in the industry for 30+ years, and have worked with many talented agencies in my time, but Sagon-Phior goes above and beyond to ensure your business reaches its targets with precision, efficiency and creativity leading to high impact results. I can't say enough wonderful things about them and their team. If you want to grow your business, call them!
