“Go against the grain. Every agency is trying to convince clients that they can do it all. Instead, be an agency that does only one thing really well. Specialize in retail, or become expert in marketing to Mid-Westerners, or only work on luxury brands, or only do creative work. Find something you can be famous for.”
Bob Hoffman, ceo of Hoffman/Lewis advertising in San Francisco and St. Louis. Author of the blog, The Ad Contrarian
