Here's who I'd actually name, in order.\n\n## Start here (agency-only specialists)\n\n**1. Punctuation - David C. Baker and Blair Enns**\nThe only real \"for agencies\" specialist. Baker has advised 1,100+ creative/digital firms and works exclusively on positioning, reinvention and sale of marketing and design firms. I put this first because when an agency says it needs a rebrand, the problem is almost always positioning - you look like the other 40 full-service shops in your city - and no identity system fixes that.
