When Jack Brown from Great Harwood joined our Digital Marketing Skills Bootcamp, he had a clear ambition — to turn his interest in web services into a real business. Working part-time with some basic digital know-how, Jack knew he needed more skills and confidence to make it happen.
That’s exactly what the Bootcamp gave him.
Jack described the Bootcamp as “well-run, professional, and genuinely engaging.” He gained hands-on experience in writing website copy, planning social media content, understanding SEO and email marketing, and creating brand assets with Canva. He also learnt how to structure campaigns, build client relationships, and even use AI tools like ChatGPT to save time and spark creativity.
Armed with new skills, Jack launched Webly — his own digital agency supporting small businesses and young entrepreneurs. Since finishing the course, he’s built websites, designed logos, crafted marketing strategies, and developed digital toolkits that blend creativity with smart automation.
Webly is already working with paying clients and has started collaborating with Youth Hubs and Job Centres to help other young people turn their ideas into reality.
Looking ahead, Jack’s launching Webly Lite, a low-cost subscription service offering ready-to-use templates, toolkits, and AI prompts — perfect for start-ups and solo founders. He’s also working on Webly.ai, an AI-powered digital companion for business planning and marketing. Beyond tech, Jack plans to offer workshops and mentoring, giving young creatives the practical advice and support they need to get started.
Reflecting on his journey, Jack says:
“The Skills Bootcamp gave me the tools, structure, and confidence to turn an idea into a real business. It’s had a massive impact on my career — I’d 100% recommend it to anyone looking to start their own venture or take their skills to the next level.”
At Alphabet Training, that’s exactly what we aim for.
“Digital Skills Bootcamps are about more than just learning new tools — they’re about unlocking confidence and opening doors. Whether someone wants to start their own business, land a new job, or boost their skills in their current role, we see first-hand the impact these programmes have on people’s futures.”
