What they are like

The Sage chases knowledge and then wants to hand it on. A lifelong learner who would rather give someone else the insight that changes things than take the credit for changing them.

How to brand to them

Respect their intelligence. Layered, well-researched, factual communication lands; oversimplified or padded messages insult them. If you make a claim, be ready to defend it.
