Ever heard of a unique selling proposition, or USP? It’s an aspect of an object that differentiates it from similar objects.
In business terms, it’s what makes you unlike your competition. It’s a positive distinctive characteristic.
We recognize there are many marketing and public relations firms, even employees and consultants with skills similar to ours.
What makes us different is simply our experience.
That experience can be a challenging thing to explain on a Web site, but here are a few unique elements of note.
