Marketing agency for years before starting Deposit Assure
The founder ran a marketing agency for years before starting Deposit Assure — and personally managed his own ad accounts.
By late 2023 he’d hit a wall: 28 leads for the year. Twenty-eight months on netStripes later, he was acquired by the international competitor he’d been beating on performance.

The Reality
Your market is shifting faster
than your current strategy.
12 years in the Australian market. One pattern repeats: the businesses that invest in strategy at the inflection point own the next decade. The ones that wait compete for what’s left.
The AI Shift is making 2022 strategies obsolete — now.
What the data shows
From 2022 strategies long-arrow-right AI-native systems.
The shift is already underway.
The Distinction
Growth is not a campaign
It is a system.
An operating system starts with a diagnostic. It tells you exactly what is blocking your growth and exactly what to do about it — before you spend a dollar on execution.
10,000+ Australian businesses. 12 years. Every platform shift, every market disruption — the system compounds because it starts with strategy, not tactics.
“With our new strategy, one ideal customer covered all the costs.”
Fabio Funai · Founder · Bespoke Catering · netStripes client, 6 years
The Difference
The Old Model
Start with a retainer. Report on activity.
6–12 month contracts. Renewal by inertia.
Strategy is a slide in the proposal deck.
AI tools used reactively. When clients ask.
Generic reporting on vanity metrics.
Growth Operating System
Start with a Diagnostic. Report on revenue.
30-day notice. We stay because of results.
Strategy is $5,500. Delivered in 10 days.
AI intelligence built in. Every month.
Revenue, pipeline, lead cost. Commercial metrics.
How It Works
Three stages. One clear system.
We do not start with a retainer. We start with a diagnostic. A fixed-fee, defined-output
engagement that tells you exactly what is blocking your growth — before you commit to anything.
01
Growth Diagnostic
Before you spend another dollar on execution, you need to know exactly where the problem is. The Diagnostic is a fixed-fee, 10-day engagement. You get a 90-day strategy before we ask for a retainer.
- $5,500 fixed fee — no ambiguity
- 10 business days — defined output
- No obligation to continue
- Fee credited to month one if you do
02
Growth Engine Retainer
Three tiers — START at $3K/mo, SCALE at $5K/mo, DOMINATE at $8–10K/mo. All with dedicated specialists, AI-augmented research, and outcome accountability tied to your Diagnostic goals.
- SEO + Google Ads + Meta Ads (SCALE+)
- AI content and market intelligence
- Fortnightly or weekly optimisation
- 30-day notice — always
03
Compound Intelligence
Every month’s AI-assisted research builds on the last. Every campaign test informs the next. The Growth Operating System compounds over time — making competition progressively less relevant.
- Monthly AI competitive landscape updates
- Quarterly strategy reviews
- Performance tied to revenue goals
- Not impressions. Not clicks. Revenue.

We diagnose.
Tony Howe
Business Development · Growth Advisory
Every netStripes engagement begins the same way. A direct conversation with Tony — about your business, your market, what you have tried, and what growth needs to look like for your specific situation.
Tony does not sell packages. He listens first. And then tells you honestly whether and how netStripes can move the number for your business.
"The diagnostic conversation is the most important 45 minutes a business owner can invest in their growth strategy. Not because of what we tell you — because of what you discover about your own business."
