Crane Creative - Your Social Media Coach

14/07/2025

Eight years of Crane Creative.

That’s eight years of learning, unlearning, evolving... and choosing, over and over again, to keep going.

This business started with no roadmap. Just a second-hand laptop, a toddler, and a quiet but determined belief that there had to be a better way to do business, one that worked around real life, not in spite of it.

Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of business owners grow online.
I’ve taught marketing strategies that actually make sense.
I’ve coached people through launches, content blocks, and algorithm chaos.
And I’ve built a brand that allows me to work with heart, flexibility, and honesty.

There’s been burnout.
There’ve been failures, pivots, doubts... and breakthroughs.
But the biggest shift? Realising that coaching, training, and mentoring lights me up in a way that content alone never could.

To the clients who’ve trusted me.
To the friends who’ve cheered me on.
To Matt, who’s held the behind-the-scenes together when things felt heavy...
Thank you. I wouldn’t have made it this far without you.

If you’re building a business and feeling overwhelmed by the back end of Meta, or unsure how to show up online in a way that feels like you... this is what I do.

Eight years in. Still aligned. Still showing up. Still here.

I've been teaching SEO for Social Media for over 12 months, well before Instagram announced it's officially "all in" on SEO. Yep, Instagram's big news isn't new to my academy members.

Why? Because we've been ahead of the curve, not chasing trends after they've become mainstream. If you're feeling left behind by constant platform changes, it's time to join a community that's proactively navigating the digital landscape, not just reacting to it.

In the Crane Creative Academy, you get the strategies and skills to ensure you're always a step ahead. While others scramble to catch up, you'll already be optimised, confident, and converting.

Don't play catch-up, stay ahead.

Join for $49/month and transform your digital marketing skills with joy and expertise. Let's make your learning experience not just educational but fun.

Canva is having a meltdown!

A global outage hit Canva today, and users haven’t been able to save designs for hours. If your designs aren’t loading or saving, it’s not just your dodgy Wi-Fi; it’s them.

🛠️ Here’s what you can do:

Don’t panic, it’s on Canva’s end.

Avoid closing unsaved projects if you can.

Take screenshots of your work if it’s urgent or needs recreating later.

Switch to something offline (Google Docs, PowerPoint, Pages… whatever’s handy) if you’re on a deadline. Or use Adobe Express.

You can check their system updates here: www.canvastatus.com This is your reminder: never leave your socials or client work to the last minute... tech can and will betray you.

I'll update when it’s back. In the meantime... go stretch, get a snack, or yell into the void. Your design isn't gone forever... it's just taking a little nap.

The average business owner spends 30+ hours a month trying to stay on top of social media changes and marketing updates.
That’s between $738 and $2,200 in lost time and energy.

Or...
You could plug into the Crane Creative Social Academy for $49/month (and lock that price in for life before EOFY).

From July 1, it goes up to $99/month.
So now’s the moment.

Inside the Academy, you get:

3x live strategy sessions per month

Tools, templates, updates that actually matter

Support from a coach who lives in the backend of Meta

Community of real business owners showing up with heart (not hustle)

And yep — it works. Cate reached 1.4 million people from a single reel after joining.

But more importantly?
She did it without burning out.

If you’re ready to show up online with clarity (not chaos)...

Only a couple of seats left for the Canva Like a Pro Workshop in Kapunda at the Prince of Wales Hotel.

I am looking forward to a great night!

Canva Like a Pro In Kapunda

I’ve been teaching Canva for 5+ years...
And every time I run this workshop, it sells out.

Not because it’s fluff.
Not because I’m showing you how to drag a logo into a box.

But because Canva is changing all the time, and I’m showing you how to actually use it to run your business smarter.

Here’s what people said after the last one:

“I had no idea Canva could do half of this… I’m going to save HOURS now.”
“The way you explained Magic Morph… that’s going to make my socials actually stand out.”
“That folder system alone just changed the way I work.”

✨ Every session is different
✨ Every time Canva adds new tools
✨ And every single time, someone says:
“I’ve been using Canva for years and didn’t know any of this.”

This isn’t Canva 101.
This is Canva Pro turned into a time-saving, brand-building machine.

PLUS thanks to Light Regional Council there are 9 $90 tickets up for grabs.
After that, it’s $130.

So please.
Don’t wait until I post the “we’re sold out” story again.

Join me on the 16th of June. Prince of Wales Hotel.

“I had no idea Canva could do half of this… I’m going to save HOURS now.”

I’m not teaching you how to find the font tool. I’m showing you how to actually use Canva like the design assistant it’s supposed to be.

✔ Bulk content from spreadsheets
✔ Smart resizing that doesn’t distort
✔ Locked templates so your VA stays on-brand
✔ Magic Morph and AI tools that actually deliver

9 sponsored tickets left at $90 thanks to Light Regional Council.
