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.

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.
