MCLEAN, VA, Jan 14, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Sage Communications, a leading full-service marketing
communications, branding, public relations and event planning firm

for Harry S. Truman's second term as president. At the National
Academy of Broadcasting in Washington, D.C., Mr. Brotman was chosen
as one of a handful of students to announce the first ever televised
parade. He was invited back to serve as the President's announcer
after chatting with former president Eisenhower, while Eisenhower was
throwing the president's ceremonial pitch at a baseball game at old
Griffith Stadium, where Mr. Brotman worked. Mr. Brotman has held the
honor of President's announcer since.

for former presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon,
Carter, Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush and
current president Obama.
"Each presidential inaugural parade brings back many memories. It has
been an honor to witness so much history from the announcer's stand,"
said Charlie Brotman, senior advisor for consumer and sports
marketing, Sage Communications. "Each parade has been a unique
experience, reflecting the personality of each individual and the
concerns of the nation at that moment in history."

and promotions agency, Brotman Winter Fried in November 2011. BWF
operates as a division of Sage, broadening the company's capabilities
