Meet Our Maestro...
Hi, I'm Greg
I’ve got 22 years of successful Digital Marketing experience working with clients of all sizes. If you’re fed up with big promises and little results then we should talk. If we accept you as a client we’ll be working together one-on-one and you won’t pay a dime unless you’re seeing measurable, undeniable results.

ANY OF THESE SOUND FAMILIAR?
The Three Biggest Reasons Why Most Marketing Agency Clients Fail.
Fell for a Slick Sales Pitch
Everything sounds wonderful during the sales process. But, when game time comes your media planners and buyers seem fresh out of college, have no real business experience and have been doing digital marketing for less than a year.
Account Representative "Hell"
Even worse you never even meet the people working on your ad accounts and get stuck in account representative "hell" battling through inane explanations of why you’re not seeing results. This is when you start getting the sinking feeling that you understand digital marketing better than your account team.
Hired a Tech. Not a Strategist
You hired an agency on who on paper sounds amazing. They're really good at pushing buttons in your ad accounts but nothing seems to move the needle? Here’s a secret for you. 98% of digital agencies are staffed almost exclusively by technicians. They typically have almost zero real-world business experience. Ad planning and buying is the easy part. At least 80% of your success is predetermined by the strength of your business model and unique positioning of your creative.

Our secret sauce - Part 1
We've Combined The Agency and Freelancer Models to Bring you the Best of Both Worlds...
Our Model - Best of Both Worlds
We've turned the agency pyramid upside down and placed the founder right next to the client as their single point of contact. This allows us to bring the full energetic weight of our entire organization into laser focus ensuring the highest levels of expertise, strategy and accountability get applied to every client project. By design, this limits the number of clients Net Return can work with, so it's critical that each relationship be as successful as possible for us to prosper.
Additionally, we escape the short comings of the one man show free-lancer model by leveraging our founder with a highly specialized and experienced team of optimizers (media planners and buyers) who work under his close supervision. As as well as, a deep bench of specialists who can be flexibly engaged to solve more exotic one-off issues that pop up.
My secret sauce - Part 2
A Spear is Only as Effective as It's Tip is Sharp. With Our Guidance Your Spear Will Be Deadly...
I know digital marketing but more importantly I know business. I’ve profitably spent over $500,000 dollars promoting my own businesses. There are very few digital agencies who can make that claim and even fewer who are taking clients.
How this Works...
01.
Get in Touch
We’d like to help everybody but we can’t. Just know that whether we accept you as a client or not we’ll give you honest feedback that will have value for your business and future pursuits. Our founder (Greg) responds personally and promptly to EVERYONE who contacts us via this page.
Please be honest and open in telling us “How We can Help You”. This gives Greg the best chance of giving you the level of help you really need.
02.
Evaluation
First, you’ll have an initial conversation with our founder, Greg, to assess the current state of your business and goals. This will be followed by initial research and a follow-up conversation to review the findings.
The type of client partner we are looking to accept into this program goes far beyond just data. We've consistently found that at least half of our clients' success depends on the quality of our relationship. It’s essential that we like, respect, and align with each other on key business questions.
03.
Proposal
We’ll create a custom performance-based proposal tailored to your most important metrics and highest-priority business goals.
Once the program begins, we’ll start planning your creative and setting up your media accounts without any upfront compensation (no fees, no escrows—nothing). You won’t pay anything until we’ve surpassed our mutually agreed-upon performance baselines, and the compensation will only be in proportion to your results.

What They Say
Net Return’s program sounded too good to be true.
Net Return’s program sounded too good to be true. I kept asking myself where's the downside? As decisions go, this was one of my better ones.
