Our story
Built beside the agency.
Teaching what we use.
Create & Grow Academy is the education arm of Create & Grow Media. The agency tests the work. The Academy teaches it. No theory from a textbook, no recycled guru content.
Mission
Real-world experience, turned into lessons.
Why we exist
Practical, hands-on digital marketing and AI training for business owners, marketing managers, and operators who want to grow without spending agency money.
Every framework, worksheet, and walkthrough comes straight from work the agency has shipped for paying clients across Australia.
Five values
The editorial backbone of the brand.
The CAGA blueprint
Five values from the CAGA blueprint. They sit behind every lesson, every price, and every email we send.
01
Empowerment, education
Tools and knowledge so owners can run their own marketing with confidence.
02
Keep it real
We only teach what we use ourselves. Every strategy tested on live client work.
03
Value-driven pricing
Maximum value at fair pricing. No hidden fees, no inflated promises.
04
Doing the right thing
Transparent methods, honest pricing, ethical practice. No shortcuts.
05
Learning for everyone
Affordable courses, free resources, no gatekeeping based on budget.
The founders
Two operators.One playbook.
Neisha designs the brand work. Josh runs the technical and performance side. Both teach what they ship. Together they run brand, web, SEO, and ad campaigns for Australian small businesses every week.
Founder, Brand Strategist
Neisha Pearson
Brand identity, positioning, voice, visual systems. Teaches the Branding Blueprint.
Co-founder, Tech Lead
Josh Higgins
SEO, web, AI workflows, agency ops. Teaches SEO, AI, Agents, and Website courses.
We only teach what we use ourselves. If it is not running on a live client account this quarter, it does not belong in a course.
Vision
A future where owners can compete.
Where we're headed
A future where Australian small business owners have the knowledge, confidence, and resources to run their own marketing without depending on an agency.
Confident operators who know the difference between a tactic that pays and one that drains the budget.
Two brands, one team
The academy. The agency. The same playbook.
Sister brands
