“Have the courage to share what makes you great” The Five by Five philosophy
We’re an Australian company creating great looking, high performing digital solutions that showcase our clients magic and generate leads so they can focus on what really matters — growing their businesses and making an impact.
We help our clients share their magic online and by doing so, double their traffic and leads in under 6 months while maintaining a WordPress site they are super proud of. We use great design, robust technology, content that converts and have award-winning customer service.
We believe in making a difference by being a business for good in our community, helping each client share their magic online, developing leaders in our organisation and having some fun along the way.
“Like attracts like”
We are a highly diverse team here at Five by Five. The common thread in each of us are our values. These values are the foundation for everything we stand for. Uncompromising on these values, we hold each other to a high standard and each and every one of us leads by example.
In it together
We have each other’s back. No backstabbing, undermining or ulterior motives. We only lift each other up. Together, we can achieve anything.
Put the client first
We are always “camping out” in our customers' minds. Our clients’ best interests are the heart of all our decisions. We bend over backwards to make sure they are happy.
Innovate for good
Our solutions solve problems, are aligned to our mission and create a positive impact in the world.
Empathy over ego
We strive to build an inclusive and accepting culture in which everyone can achieve great things.
Extreme ownership
We take personal responsibility for how we physically and mentally show up each day. We act like business owners — with commitment, determination, and a strong bias for taking action.
Operate with Integrity
Trust above all else. We do what we say we are going to do and always follow through. We have the courage to manifest our values in action.
The biggest leverage point that any business owner has is their team.
For almost 7 years, Jon ran Five by Five from his bedroom as a “one man” show.
Jon Hollenberg
FOUNDER
He did the sales, web design, web development, customer service, and accounts, all while working in his boardshorts.
As a one man show, Jon had plenty of work but reached a ceiling very quickly and maxed out the revenue generation potential for Five by Five. Not just revenue, Jon also maxed out his ability to provide value to his clients and was turning away businesses he desperately wanted to help share their magic online.
A big part of growing the business into a flourishing team delivering thousands of websites over the last decade was Jon learning how to be a leader.
It didn’t come easy, but through lots of trial and error he shaped himself into someone that other people felt inspired to be around and want to follow.
Since then Jon has devoted his entire existence in the business to finding amazing people that are smarter and better than him in their chosen fields. Better designers, developers, project managers and most importantly, better leaders.
Our team are constantly pushed to be the leaders in their department and Jon enjoys coaching and mentoring us towards this. He says he now comes to us for ideas, input, and inspiration. The entire team is trusted and allowed to work their brilliance every day.
Together, the team now delivers a far better product and customer experience than Jon ever used to by himself!
Now all Jon’s satisfaction comes from seeing the team kick goals and succeed without him in the day to day running of the show. He is left to work on big picture ideas to further grow and scale Five by Five.
However, we still rely on Jon to play a vital part in the company, his experience and mentorship is highly sought after by multiple team members. Now known as our ‘Head Coach’, Jon’s role is to mentor the team, not only for professional development, but as a friend too.
