🎓 Flexible, online, easy
The skills and wellbeing training plan designed for busy comms professionals
You already know your stuff, but this time next year you can be the confident, expert communicator who gets big results, every time.
We all want our work to have impact, but communications professionals often face a few problems:
- Your audiences aren’t fully engaged and interested in important but heavy, often complex topics
- You feel creatively constrained by a need to keep your content well-judged and uncontroversial
- It can be hard to find time to upskill and craft your best work
But you CAN bring your brand’s comms to life!
You can dip in and out when you want to. It’s not something you have to commit to – you do whatever is going to help you. I like that flexibility.
Before I joined, I wasn’t aware of algorithms, how to grow your followers, reach, output, things like that. I realised it’s not just about creating content, there’s a whole strategy around it.
Being able to go to an expert and say: ‘What do you think? I’m running this campaign and it might be a bit boring. How can I make it more attractive?’ Getting that advice and having a place to do that is great.
I feel safe because I know that support is there when I need it.

The social media strategy course was so helpful, and continuing with the social expert course and all the masterclasses have really improved our social media and made a huge difference!

It completely changed my way of thinking about how we engage with our customers.
I feel far more confident in my job and I also feel like I have more ideas about content.

FAQs
Here are some of the most common questions we get about the Comms Creatives Academy
Get in touch if you have a question we haven’t answered here.
I’m not in the UK, can I still join?
You are most welcome! We’ve had students from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand join us – you just have to ask for clarification if we say something that sounds weird to you, or our British accents sounds funny.
What if it’s not advanced enough? Or too basic?
All training is intermediate (with options to try more advanced skills for those who are more experienced). It’s for professionals already in a comms job. It isn’t for people who need technical basics. Experienced communicators may encounter methods and strategies they have used before, but the course will help you approach them in a new and more creative way. We’ll take you from good to exceptional!
I feel like I should know this stuff already.
We all start somewhere. This course will quickly build your confidence and skills. Don’t worry about what you should know and get excited about what you’re about to learn!
What if I can’t make live sessions?
No worries. You can catch up on any and all of the replays any time you want – for a whole year!
We’ve designed this whole experience to be flexible, so you don’t miss out when unpredicable stuff crops up in life and work.
Will it be too much work? My job is already WAY too busy as it is!
Oh, we know the feeling! That’s why we have designed time-saving resources and flexible, bitesized training.
Making time when you work in comms is no easy task. But it will pay off in the improvements and tips you learn to create better content in a shorter amount of time.
We’re on your side, and will support you as best we can to fit this around your work and life so it feels like it is saving you time in the long run.
Is this training suitable for my industry (B2B, public sector, charity, retail, corporate, etc.)?
We make sure that the principles and techniques you learn apply to communications professionals working in any industry. We use case studies and examples from a wide range of organisations and we also ensure you have time to discuss how you can make the lessons work for your brand.
How can I convince my boss to approve me taking this programme?
Show them how investing in you and your company will resut in huge improvements to the impact you make.
We have an email template that you can use to send your boss or traning manager that will outline why it’s a worthy investment.
This is more than we would expect to spend on training - is it worth the investment?
Membership is an investment, not a cost. As well as being lower price than equivalent courses, nowhere else can you learn highly effective techniques and proven methods to massively increase your social media effectiveness. You’ll get world-class and innovative teaching, personal attention, as well as templates, tips and tricks that will save you time and make you more productive. We plan on making this the best year of your professional life.
We’re a charity/public sector organisation - can we get a discount?
The cost reflects the quality and breadth of training, expertise and attention you receive. However we offer a 10% discount to make this more affordable for charity and public sector organisations, enter the promo code ‘nonprofit10’ at checkout or mention it when arranging enrolment by invoice.
