TellyCast is inviting media executives to secure one of the remaining places on its upcoming Digital Bootcamp, an intensive training programme designed to equip producers with the commercial and creative skills needed to succeed in the digital-first content economy.
The four-day course will take place in London on March 26, 27, 30 and 31, 2026, with a limited number of places still available ahead of the one-of-a-kind programme.
Designed for TV professionals stepping into the digital-first space, the bootcamp combines in-person and remote masterclasses, presentations, case studies, walkthroughs and practical “how-to” sessions delivered by leading industry figures.
Developed in response to the rapid shift in audience behaviour and platform economics, Bootcamp focuses on helping media businesses build sustainable digital revenue streams, develop platform-native content and navigate the commercial landscape across platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and podcasts.
Justin Crosby, founder of TellyCast, said: “The industry is changing at a pace we’ve never seen before, and leaders need the confidence, insight, and practical knowledge to act decisively. The Digital Bootcamp is designed to demystify the digital-first economy, accelerate strategic thinking, and give executives the tools to build sustainable growth across platforms. We’re bringing together some of the smartest digital innovators in the business to help delegates hit the ground running in 2026.”
The programme is aimed at indie CEOs, founders and MDs, as well as senior execs at studios, distributors and broadcasters. It is also tailored for heads of digital, development and commercial, senior producers, and partnerships executives looking to understand monetisation, collaborations and multi-platform IP development.
