The mechanism

The chart shows three agency homepages side by side. Different colors, but they all say the same five things: "strategic partner," "end-to-end," "trusted," "custom solutions," "we listen." When every agency makes the same promises, buyers can't tell them apart, so they choose on price. Sounding like everyone else is what turns you into the cheap option.
