Why Most Agencies Sound the Same and How Yours Can Be Different with David Brier | Ep #874
Most agencies don’t have a marketing problem. They have a sameness problem.
Their websites, their services, their “award-winning team” language. It’s all the same. They even have the same promises that sound impressive but mean absolutely nothing to a prospect who’s heard it 50 times this week.
Today’s featured guest has a pretty good idea of why agencies are blending into the background and how the ones that win are doing the opposite. He’ll get into differentiation, AI, pricing confidence, RFPs, and why playing it safe is the fastest way to disappear.
David Brier is the the branding expert CEOs call when their marketing hits a wall. He calls himself “rehab for brands” to help get them profitable.
How to Scale Your Agency with Smart Acquisitions (and the Courage to Say “No”) with Gilad Bechar | Ep #850
How would you go about making acquisitions to accelerate your growth? Would you buy for revenue, culture fit, client roster? Would you be willing to fire big clients that are holding your agency back? Most agency owners chase growth by saying “yes” to everything, from new services, new clients, and new shiny opportunities. Today’s featured guest built one of the fastest-growing mobile and digital agencies in the world by focusing narrowly, firing bad-fit clients, and mastering the art of strategic acquisitions. Today he’ll unpack how his agency evolved from a small mobile startup in Tel Aviv to a global digital powerhouse working with brands like Google, Uber, Samsung, and Microsoft.
