Maybe I have read chapter 32 too many times - I'm having trouble working out the level of control here.

Building a digital marketing agency, you are in control of your staff, in control of your services, in control of which clients you take on, but you are not in control of if those clients stay with you (even if you get them great results), the products they sell and so on.

"You must be the controller of policy and product, and the producer."

So does a productized marketing agency fail the Control test? Does their pricing structure (flat rate per service, commission based, etc) affect this?
