WHO IS MI ACADEMY?
UNLIKE AN AGENCY, WE BELIEVE IN SKILLS FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR THE LIFE OF ONE CAMPAIGN.
MI Academy we're proud to be a multi award-winning training provider. We're committed to enabling retail and eCommerce founders to save time, build revenue and scale faster than ever.
Specialising working with family owned and independent businesses means we understand how special people are and we align with brands who see value in developing their talent and business at the same time.
We champion Togetherness, Learning, and Creativity. Our collaborative environment ensures everyone thrives, embodying the spirit that a rising tide lifts all ships.
Unlike an agency, we deliver customised project-based training programs across Email Marketing, Marketing Operations and Customer Experience in both 1:1 and group formats.

WHY IT ALL STARTED
WHY IT ALL STARTED
Hey, I'm Alita Harvey-Rodriguez. I'm the Founder and and Managing Director of MI Academy. Having worked several roles across software, agency and brand, I grew tired of watching businesses pump money into solutions and technology that merely acted as a band-aid for a bigger problem: misaligned teams and under-utilised technology.
Retailers needed confidence and agency-style capabilities to drive growth, consistently and sustainably. For the past decade, this is precisely what MI Academy has delivered.
