Working closely with the client’s management and staff, SGA analyzes historical trends to identify areas where operations are substandard to best practices. SGA then helps the client establish both short-term and long-term targets for a number of operating ratios, which lead to growth in both the top and bottom lines.

Sample Assignments:

• Regional Business Journal: SGA rebuilt and simplified paper’s rate card and helped establish target revenue and expense ratios. Over a two year period the paper’s revenues grew 45% and its profit margin went from -4% to +16%.

• City magazine: SGA helped revise the magazine’s circulation and rate base growth strategy, resulting in an 18% revenue increase over two years.
