“Go where the competition ain’t. Too often clients falsely believe marketing just like the competition is the solution. In today’s media environment, this path is far riskier than it appears because the client then becomes part of the noise. The best solution for differentiation is to celebrate who you are and in ways that demonstrate how you’re unique.”
