The company doesn't have to be different, but you are right that if they articulate the value the tool/software brings better than the other guy, they may win the day.
What you're describing is fast becoming a reality for most software businesses imho - the days of feature differentiation are rapidly declining.
In this example, what if the company isn't any different? The marketer has to find a way to hide the fact that the company they've been hired to promote is not actually that innovative. An inferior product can still be a success if the right combination of hype, timing and smart promotion is combined.
