“Working with Josh and Neisha has been smooth from start to finish. They accommodated tight timeframes and communicate excellently. Josh’s SEO and Google Ads management is impressive and proactive.”
A Brisbane agency built on real results, radical transparency, and the belief that every business deserves marketing that actually works.
Josh and Neisha met in 2019, and it did not take long to realise they shared the same drive: build something of their own. During COVID they launched an ecommerce store together that hit $250K in just over a quarter. The business ultimately did not survive, but the lessons in paid ads, conversion, and customer psychology were invaluable.
Josh had already tried starting an agency with another business partner, worked inside an agency, done real estate, and “everything but the kitchen sink.” That restless search for the right fit led them to freelancing on AirTasker in late 2021, picking up digital marketing jobs and growing organically from word of mouth. By early 2022 the demand was real, and Create & Grow Media became official.
The name was almost “CAG Digital,” but the ring was not quite right. The idea behind Create & Grow Media is simple: they Create things, they Grow things, through every channel that matters. Josh handles strategy, growth, SEO, ads, and the tech. Neisha leads branding, creative direction, social media, and client relationships. Together they cover the full spectrum without the overhead of a bloated agency.
That same philosophy led to the launch of the Create & Grow Academy, an education platform making quality digital marketing training accessible to small business owners across Australia. The long-term vision is a premium content and media studio with video, photo, and animation capabilities, all backed by proprietary AI-powered tools built in house.
Two ambitious minds cross paths. A shared drive for building something meaningful sparks the journey ahead.
During COVID, they launched an ecommerce store that hit $250K in just over a quarter. The business did not survive, but the lessons shaped everything that followed.
Starting from freelance gigs on AirTasker, Josh and Neisha officially launched the agency. Organic growth, one client at a time.
Word of mouth brought a steady stream of clients. The agency formalised its processes, refined its offering, and built its reputation.
Established as a complete digital marketing agency offering SEO, Google Ads, social media, web design, branding, and content creation.
Launched the CAGM Client Portal for real-time reporting and collaboration. Shipped the Create & Grow Academy for digital marketing education. Built AI-powered operations and a Creative Engine for ad production. Six active clients across trades, health, and hospitality.
Strategy meets creativity. Every campaign has both a data brain and a design eye behind it.

Growth strategist, digital marketer, web developer, and systems builder. Josh handles every campaign, every line of code, and every data-driven decision at Create & Grow Media. His background spans real estate, ecommerce (a COVID-era store that hit $250K in a quarter), and agency life, all of which shaped how he approaches client results today.
Frustrated by agencies that overcharge, overpromise, and deliver work that looks like it was made on day one of an internship, Josh builds tools that compound. A custom client portal where clients track performance in real time. AI-powered creative tools that produce quality ad content at scale. Automation systems that cut reporting time from hours to minutes.
His philosophy is simple: every dollar a client spends should be traceable to a result. No vanity metrics, no fluff. Data in, decisions out, growth delivered.

With a three-year design degree and years of hands-on experience across ecommerce brands, Neisha is the creative force behind every brand identity that comes out of the agency. She leads branding projects from first concept through to final delivery, manages client relationships, and directs all visual content and social media strategy.
Neisha designed and built the brand identity, content strategy, and visual language for the Create & Grow Academy. She maintains brand kits for every client, ensuring consistency across every touchpoint from social posts to pitch decks. Her creative instinct is backed by data and research, not guesswork.
Outside the agency, Neisha is passionate about sailing, volunteers with Magic Moments and YLA Australia, and is an avid soccer and AFL fan. A strong advocate for youth development and mental health awareness, she brings that same care and personal investment to every client relationship.
We built this agency because we were frustrated with the status quo. Here is how we do things differently.
Your campaigns are built and managed by the founders directly. No account managers passing messages. No interns doing the work. When you call, you talk to the people making the decisions.
Every recommendation is grounded in data. We track, measure, and report on everything so you always know what is working and what needs to change. No guesswork, no gut feelings.
We built our own client portal for real-time reporting, an AI operations system that runs autonomously, and a Creative Engine for ad production. Our component library powers every site and presentation. This is not off-the-shelf software with a markup; it is proprietary technology that gives our clients a structural advantage.
We are not trying to lock you into a 12-month contract. We keep clients because we deliver results, not because of contractual obligations. Your growth is our growth.
