We searched for best-in-class training across today’s social media landscape for our team internally.
When we couldn’t find it… we decided to build it ourselves.
Welcome, to Wilderness Social Academy.
This a first of its kind training and upskilling program for digital and social media.
We aim to educate the next generation of social experts and supports teams to upskill their digital knowledge.
Come and join the Academy.
Brixton Finishing School
BFS is a FREE 10-week programme for 18-25-year-olds which delivers a premium learning experience for students through a mixture of lessons and real-world advertising experience. The aim is to find ‘under-represented’ groups in the creative industries with untapped potential (Multi-Cultural, Working Class, NeuroDiverse, Female) and give them a practical course of study.
Wilderness delivered two masterclass sessions for the 2020 cohort of students not only giving them insight into agency life but also setting them a practical task. As well as this Jamie Maple, Strategy Director, became a team leader supporting a group of students learning over 10 weeks shaping their response to a real-world industry brief.
The Industry Club
We started working with TIC in June delivering our first ‘lockdown and learn’ sessions as part of a free program they were offering to anyone in the industry. Since then we’ve been working with TIC to develop a new range of modules to give learners the skills, knowledge, and confidence to build a career in social media. They’ll learn all about social media strategy, how to manage online channels, and grow communities for a brand or business.
At a time when opportunities for young people are shrinking this is an incredible project to be a part of and something that we are passionate about at Wilderness.
