Academic publisher SAGE has announced the acquisition of a portion of the advertising sales business of US-based Leonard Media Group (LMG). Jeff Leonard, principal of Leonard Media Group, will continue to own and operate his remaining businesses under the LMG umbrella.
The 5-member team from the Group has represented more than 20 SAGE journals in the science and medical fields for 8 years. This sales team has helped SAGE achieve a record-setting year for ad sales in 2008 for many of its journals. The team has sold - and will continue to sell - advertising in select SAGE print journals and online products.
The Leonard Media Group has been in business for 20 years, representing a variety of publishers and companies, including the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, the Global Health Council and the Pennsylvania Bar Association.
