Compared to the competition, differentiated businesses are 4 times more likely to grow.
Today’s consumers are overwhelmed and indifferent. Companies that understand this don’t waste their time communicating their sameness. They speak different. Successful companies find or create their differentiated right to
win and they amplify it. The data shows that differentiated companies are 4 times more likely to grow. And the new definition of insanity has become doing the same thing that everyone else is doing and expecting to gain share.
Being different, contrary to the opinion of some, is the least risky thing a business can do. As Jeff Bezos said in his very last letter to shareholders, “Differentiation is survival.”

We believe that different partnerships lead to different results. As an example, we’ve recently entered an incredible partnership with Power Digital. Their media and performance capabilities combine with our brand and strategy prowess to create certainty for clients.
We believe in the power of different perspectives. It’s why we value inventors as much as investors. Why we work with scholars and screenwriters. And why we hire greeting card makers and tech entrepreneurs. Together, we offer something different.
We value divergent thinking and curiosity. But most of all, we value a point of view. Because that’s what creates distinction.
