The mechanism

Three overlapping circles: what you do, what clients care about, and what competitors can't easily copy. Most agencies talk about the first circle - their services - but competitors offer those too, so it's a crowded, cheap place to stand. What actually sets you apart is the small middle where all three circles overlap. Most agencies forget that third circle, and that's exactly where the difference lives.
