What We Do
BlackRook Academy delivers digital skills and employability coaching. We specialise in training social media content creators.
That training covers effective and tailored use of social platforms, writing and story-telling, use of AI, Google Ads, analytics tools and the whole arc of story-telling from deciding what content works to production – with in-depth coaching on high quality filming and photography with a smartphone, along with picture editing and use of graphics.
We have 15 brilliant industry coaches – all actively working right now across digital marketing, journalism, social media management, public relations and the hands-on technical disciplines that make good ideas great content.
Our trainers have been working with organisations internationally since 2012 – and we’ve coached and mentored hundreds of content creators of all ages.
Some had never posted on social media before… and now they’re earning money doing it.
