My talk from the All-In Agency Summit
Podcast appearances
Listed in my recommended listening order.
Smarter Marketer (Round 1)
In this podcast I talk about:
What’s beyond niching down, now that everyone's done it.
The "best practice" tactics that accidentally commoditise you.
How Trump's 2016 campaign used positioning → messaging → copywriting to dominate (and what that teaches B2B service firms)

RevThinking
In this podcast I talk about:
When a perspective matters, and when it doesn't.
The step-by-step process I use to develop perspectives with clients
Real-world examples of the process and results in action

AgencyForward
This one was different - the host is also an agency advisor, so we swapped notes on:
How agencies should (and shouldn't) position themselves
What agencies must do now that AI made execution fast and cheap
The specific channels & tactics we're both bullish on

Exotic Matter
In this podcast I talk about:
The steps to craft a perspective that's not just unique, but useful
How one agency hit $21M in 3 years by becoming known for their perspective, not their niche
How to make your perspective impossible to copy (even when competitors try)

Smarter Marketer (Round 2)
I was invited back onto Smarter Marketer to get tactical. We talk about:
The Three-Part Perspective Framework: Offer Clarity → Value Articulation → Perspective
How to get stakeholders bought into a new perspective (without pitching it to them)
Why leading with pain points attracts low-value, difficult clients - and what to lead with instead.
