What’s Agency Bootcamp?
Our first Bootcamp took place during a lockdown period in 2020, born out of a commitment to help the next generation coming into the industry at a time when work experience placements were being shelved left, right and centre.
The obstacle of having to run a virtual event quickly became an opportunity!
We realised that unlike traditional work experience – where we could just have one or two people in the office at a time – we could run it over Zoom and have 20+ attendees.
It was so successful that we’ve kept the format, and we’re delighted to say that Agency Bootcamp alumni have gone on to secure exciting jobs in the industry as a result.
This year, Bootcamp’s back for another action-packed week, giving aspiring entrants to the industry a unique insight into the world of digital marketing.
When is Sookio Bootcamp taking place?
Monday 15 to Friday 19 August 2022. 9am start each day. Don’t be late!
Sessions will all take place over Zoom - but with plenty of breaks and creative challenges in between.
