   A message from President, Joelle Caputa

Nominated for Top Journalist in Support of Live Music at the 2005 Asbury Park Music Awards. Recipient of Cambridge Who's Who Among Business Owners and Professionals 2006.

Through Planet Verge, I met a lot of local bands. After interviewing them and hearing their stories of struggle to succeed in the industry, I felt like I needed to do more to help them.  When I love something, I tell everyone about it, so publicity came naturally to me.  What made it even more fun was that I could be a part of creating history for a band.  So in 2003, I formed Planet Verge PR (now Audio Crush).  And that's how it all began!

MEET JESSICA SAGER!  She's the Queen of Bios and  a fan favorite among the Planet Verge staff and asset to HIP Video Promo. Highly excelling in promotions, Jessica was chosen to be a part of Audio Crush:

Jessica Sager is vertically challenged with both her temper and attention span matching her height.  When she's not jumping around at a show or shamelessly promoting bands she likes, she can usually be found reading, dancing around in her undies, or baking (sometimes simultaneously).  She listens exclusively to Whitesnake, Michael Bolton and Richard Marx.  Her lifelong dream is to someday settle down and have a family with Lenny Kravitz, though if push comes to shove, Jude Law will do.  Did we mention she has trouble taking herself too seriously?
