About the Founder
I'm Andrew Cass, Founder & Publisher of The Growth Stack. Best-selling author of Sales Velocity, a 29-year sales and marketing veteran, and founder of an Inc. 5000 company (2024). Over three decades I've built high-performance sales systems and helped multiple clients reach the Inc. 5000 list themselves. My work on sales, AI, and automation has been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and in The Wall Street Journal, Success Magazine, and Newsweek. Every week I help service-based business owners attract more clients, automate more of their business, and scale faster — even if they're not tech-savvy.
FAQ
How far in advance should I book?
Average lead time is 1 to 2 weeks. Dedicated emails are limited to 1 to 2 per month, so those dates go first.
What if I don't have creative ready?
Our team writes the ad copy and designs the graphic at no extra cost, for any product or package. Just tell us when you book.
Do I get to see the ad before it goes out?
Yes. We frame everything to match the newsletter and send you the final for approval before it goes live. Nothing publishes without your sign-off.
Can I lock out my competitors?
Yes, category exclusivity is available on request.
What kinds of advertisers do you accept?
Businesses that help service-based owners run and fund what they've built: financing, insurance, accounting and tax, payments, staffing, legal, and wealth or exit planning. We don't accept marketing software, CRM, funnels, AI agents, or lead-gen tools, to protect both our readers and our own offers.
How is the dedicated email different from a newsletter placement?
A dedicated email is a solo Tuesday send built entirely around your offer, with 100% share of voice and Andrew's personal endorsement. Top and Bottom Slots run inside the regular Thursday issue alongside our editorial content.
Can I book multiple issues?
Yes. Email tabata@thegrowthstack.info and we'll put together a multi-issue package.
