Digital Academies Being Developed for Northwest

DIGITAL media companies and production companies in the Northwest are soon to get their own Digital Academies – a chance to join forces and discover the vast opportunities to be had in working together.

“We are looking forward to finding undiscovered talent through this programme,” says Project Manager Lynn Kelly. “We want to find digital entrepreneurs with fresh ideas to work with the North West's premier production companies on innovating content.”

Media Training North West’s Digital Futures programme has recently been exploring how media is changing, how audiences are consuming differently, but more importantly how content producers can capitalise on these developments.

One of the key messages to come from the programme so far has been collaboration, collaboration and collaboration! There's a real need for production companies to work in partnership with digital media companies in creating and innovating content. It is this that has under pinned the thinking behind the Digital Academies we’ll be hosting in July.

More information will follow shortly, but digital content creators should mark July in their diary as a month for growth!
