Gold Coast, Australia - 17 October, 2025 - Entrepreneur Simon Beard, co-founder of Culture Kings, has officially launched the Creator Army Bootcamp—a program designed to train and certify a new wave of AI-assisted Full-Stack Content Creators and create one million jobs for the next generation of digital talent.

Unveiled during a global livestream on October 14, 2025, the Bootcamp has already seen strong demand, with aspiring creators enrolling to gain certification and business owners joining the waitlist for early access to hire trained talent through the upcoming Creator Army platform.

"Everyone’s talking about how AI is taking jobs. I see it differently," said Beard. "AI isn’t here to replace us—it’s here to level us up. Creator Army is about helping people use AI to create more, earn more, and move faster. It’s not man versus machine—it’s man with machine. That’s how we build the future and create a million new jobs."

The Creator Army Bootcamp

The Bootcamp teaches creators how to concept, shoot, edit, and distribute content at the speed of culture—while using AI-assisted workflows that help them produce more efficiently without losing creativity. Graduates will be certified as Full-Stack Creators, giving them verified credibility and priority access to paid jobs on the Creator Army marketplace once it opens.

Future-Proofing Jobs in a Changing Economy

The launch comes as recent reports suggest Australia’s unemployment rate has edged upward, highlighting the ongoing uncertainty in traditional job markets and the need for new career pathways. Beard believes the answer lies in innovation—specifically, equipping people with skills that can’t be automated.

"People are looking for ways to future-proof their income and build careers that last," Beard said. "Creator Army is about giving people a skillset that turns creativity into opportunity. If we can train a million people to use AI to create and earn, that’s a million new jobs that didn’t exist before—and a massive boost for communities everywhere."

By combining education, opportunity, and technology, Creator Army helps creators gain in-demand skills while giving small businesses affordable access to high-quality content.

"If we can train one million people to use AI to create and earn, that’s a million new jobs that didn’t exist before—and a massive boost for communities everywhere," Beard added.

What’s Next

With Bootcamp now open, Creator Army will soon launch its on-demand marketplace, connecting certified creators with businesses—known as “Seekers”—who need content produced at scale. Until then, brands and individuals can join the waitlist for early access.
