"Professional services firms tend to talk about generic features. They also make the mistake of confusing a company mission with a positioning statement. Williams has done a great job of outlining the common pitfalls of positioning professional services firms while offering invaluable advice on how to avoid repeating them."

Beau Fraser, CEO of The Gate Worldwide

"Tim Williams really provided a turning point for our agency. His insight on our business plus the ability to grasp our niches in the advertising world really provided motivation and an urge to action for all of our people."

Steve Barr, Partner, Osborn & Barr

"A sharp look at the cratering landscape agencies face today. Tim’s presentation is an idea-generating carousel of strategies agencies need to succeed."

Jim Cronin, BCA Marketing Communications

"Finally an advertising workshop with completely current and relevant information that really dives into the application of the ideas."

Sylvia Prentice, McKinnon Calderwood Advertising

"I attended your seminar a few months ago and just wanted to let you know how inspiring I found it to be. And I mean literally inspiring. Listening to you inspired an idea that, after months of blood, sweat and integrated teamwork, became a reality and has gotten a huge response. So, thanks again."

Chris Corley, Group Creative Director, Bernstein-Rein

"Our work with Ignition has been different from other consultancies. Most of the work we have done together has stuck, has become part of our culture, and is being practiced regularly. There are a couple of reasons why that's true. First, what you say makes an enormous amount of sense. Second, the way you say it has immense credibility."

Joe Norris, Former President, Sullivan Higdon & Sink

"Ignition presents a “no holds barred” look at the future of the advertising agency business. Tim not only provokes thought but offers actionable ideas about how agencies can adapt in our rapidly changing environment – remaining relevant and valuable to clients, and ultimately securing our own future."

Sue Butler, Butler/Till

"An outstanding discussion on how to specifically re-engineer your agency to meet a quickly changing world."

Phil Bressler, Muller Bressler Brown

"Tim Williams shows how by better positioning and differentiating their offering from the rest of the pack, professional firms ultimately help create a marketplace that is easier for us, brand advertisers, to navigate and as a result, significantly improves the chances for the right client/agency partnerships to emerge and drive business."

Bruno Gralpois, author of Agency Mania

"The concept of positioning was decades ahead of its time when it was born, and was all but forgotten when its time finally arrived. Except by Tim Williams. Nobody writing or consulting on the subject today has a stronger and more incisive grasp on what has become the most essential marketing principle of all. "
