Sagan Medvec is the cofounder of Brand Llama (formerly Small Business Design Center (SBDC)), and is the creative director of the company. Sagan helped start SBDC because of his passion to help small businesses. Providing meaningful branding, marketing and interactive services and solutions for small businesses was the mission of the company.
As SBDC grew through the years, however, the focus evolved. The company no longer just helped small businesses to grow; they had a number of midsize and large businesses on their client list. And they were doing much more than design. Sagan realized that the only thing still applicable about the SBDC name was center, which he decided was kind of a problem. From that realization, Sagan decided to create Brand Llama—all of the great services and service that SBDC offered with new additions requested by many customers. These changes positioned Brand Llama to become a full-service agency focused on helping our customers find customers, build trust and increase sales.
