Bristol Social Media Academy
Your Social Media Could Be So Much Better.
We’ll show you how.
We teach businesses how to create their own professional social media content and build a strategy that actually works. No agencies. No retainers. Just skills you keep forever.
Our trainers have created content for
BBC Food | Coca-Cola | Deliveroo | National Rail | UberEats | LadBible
Sound familiar?
You're posting, but is it actually working?
You know Instagram and TikTok could be doing more for your business. But between running everything else, social media gets squeezed into whatever time is left. You post when you can, but there's no real plan behind it. No strategy. No consistency. And the results reflect that.
Maybe you've thought about hiring an agency. But £1,000+ a month for someone else to post on your behalf? That's £12,000 a year, and if you stop paying, everything stops with it. You don't need someone to do it for you. You need to learn how to do it yourself.
The best social media content comes from the people who know the business best. That's you. The behind-the-scenes moments, the passion, the stories your customers never see. You're sitting on content gold. You just need the skills to capture it.

The smarter investment
You’ve probably considered hiring a freelancer or an agency?
A great agency can deliver amazing results. But they cost £1,000 to £4,000 per month, usually with a six-month minimum contract. That's up to £24,000 a year.
Then there's the disruption. Agency shoots mean pulling your team away from customers for half or full days at a time. And content only gets made on those scheduled days, not when something brilliant happens on a random Tuesday afternoon.
We built BSMA for businesses that want the skills without the commitment. Whether that's one person joining a masterclass from £247, or training your whole team in-house for less than the cost of a single month with an agency.
| Digital Agency | BSMA | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | £1,000+ | £0 |
| Annual cost | £12,000+ | From £247 (once) |
| Commitment | 6-12 month contract | One day |
| You learn the skills | No | Yes |
| Content when inspiration hits | No, you wait for the next shoot | Yes, whenever you want |
| When you leave | Services stop | Skills you keep forever |
