Our Journey Since 2019
About Four Stripes Digital
Our journey as we learn and grow through the years.
Hey there! We’re Evie and Monique, the faces behind Four Stripes Digital. Our story starts back in 2018, when we were both working at a digital marketing agency in Auckland. Evie was the general manager, and I (Monique) was a web developer. Things weren’t exactly rosy – the agency was struggling financially, and by the end of the year, it was clear things were going downhill fast.
Come 2019, we knew we had to take action. Wages weren’t being paid, the office was gone, and the owner’s behaviour was becoming more and more unpredictable. Let’s just say there were a lot of behind-the-scenes issues that we’d rather not revisit! The bottom line was, we needed to get out. Quickly.
During our time at the agency, Evie and I had often talked about how things should be done. We’d seen some practices that were not only unprofessional but, frankly, unethical. We decided that if we ever started our own agency, we’d do the complete opposite.
So, on the 18th of March 2019, Four Stripes Digital was born! At first, we weren’t entirely sure what services we’d offer, but we knew one thing for sure: client service would be at the heart of everything we did.
Those early days were tough. We had to hustle to find clients and prove our worth to other businesses. But slowly but surely, we started to grow.
Then, just as things were looking up, along came 2020… and you know what that means – Covid! What a rollercoaster that was. If you’re a business owner, we don’t need to tell you about the stress. We all lived through it.
Once things settled down a bit, we picked ourselves up and got back to work, even more determined to help other businesses. We went above and beyond for our clients, sometimes even at our own expense.
In 2021 and 2022, we were finally ready to expand and take on staff. Unfortunately, being new to hiring, we learned a few tough lessons about over-promising and under-delivering. It was a setback, but we learned from it.
Start of 2023, we took a long, hard look at Four Stripes. We turned everything upside down, shook out all the accumulated bits and pieces, and kept only what truly stuck. Those core elements, that’s what we knew was worth building on. Everything else? It had to go. We also outgrew our little shared space in Howick and moved into a much larger warehouse. Upstairs is our office, and downstairs? A brand new photo and videography studio!
2024 was a bit of a wild ride as we focused on simplifying our services and finally honing in on what truly makes Four Stripes, Four Stripes. It was all about discovering our unique strengths and focusing on what we do best.
And now, here we are in 2025! We’ve found our place in the digital world. We have a fantastic, loyal client base, we’re delivering exceptional results, and we’re ready to expand and grow even further.
So, what’s on the horizon for 2025? We’ve got some exciting things planned, including:
- A brand refresh to better reflect our style and growth.
- Forging new partnerships.
- Hitting bigger targets.
- Getting our name in front of even more people.
- Continuing to deliver client-focused services.
- And, of course, achieving outstanding marketing results for our clients.
