Spark AI Accelerator
Role-specific AI training and business transformation for agencies and brands
Most AI training ends when the session does. People return to their desks, open their inboxes and life continues as normal. The Spark AI Accelerator is different. We leave your organisation changed. Across a structured 12-week programme, we deliver role-specific training, embed new ways of working, and build an engine for growth that keeps driving momentum long after our work together ends.
The Spark AI Accelerator is our flagship transformation programme.
It combines hands-on training for your whole team with role-specific, focussed streams for leadership, creative, client services and strategy teams, including practical workflows and live build days to embed AI in the way you operate. The result is an organisation where every person's efforts are multiplied.

AI is the biggest shift since digital
AI is already being used across your agency. But without a clear strategy, tools multiply, quality varies, risk builds – and your team's effort doesn't lead to impact.
The real challenge isn't 'adopting AI' – it's making the leap from fragmented use and siloed experimentation to organisation-wide capability.
The Spark AI Accelerator is designed to bridge that gap.
From fragmented AI experimentation to a permanent engine for growth
Every team member leaves with deeper understanding, new skills and workflows built around their role. Together, we build the engine that changes not just how your team works – but what your organisation is capable of.

A transformative program for our studio
It’s been a transformative program for our studio. AI streamlines our creative and visualisation process, giving designers more time to focus on craft… resulting in higher-quality work, clearer client understanding, and new opportunities to deliver innovative solutions.

We are seeing big ticks in every box
We are now using AI as an everyday feature of this business, which is exactly what we wanted. You've held us to account, and we are seeing big ticks in every box.

The approach has been extremely well-considered
We've achieved a great deal in the last three months given that we started from a place of almost nothing. The approach has been extremely well-considered.

It has become a normal tool within the business
The adoption and day-to-day usage of AI is now really high. It has become a normal tool within the business – which is fantastic.

FAQs about the Spark AI Accelerator
-
The Spark AI Accelerator is built for agencies and brands that are serious about embedding AI across their whole organisation.
-
You choose the role-specific streams that are right for your organisation. There are two things we do insist on, though. First, every Accelerator programme begins with AI Fundamentals, which gets your whole team to the same level before the more advanced, role-specific work begins. Second, AI for Leaders should always be run alongside at least one other role-specific stream. Without the practical skills your team builds in those streams, your leadership team won't have the capability to implement the initiatives they identify. We'll help you work out the right combination if you’re unsure.
-
Not at all. This is one of the most common concerns we hear – and it's exactly why every Accelerator begins with AI Fundamentals. That stream will bring your whole team to the same level, regardless of where they're starting from. By the time you move into the role-specific streams, everyone has the shared foundation to get the most from them.
-
Most AI training teaches you the tools and leaves you to figure out the rest. The Spark AI Accelerator is different. It's structured, role-specific and hands-on – built around live projects, not hypotheticals. Our coaches work alongside your team through training sessions and build days, embedding new ways of working directly into how your agency operates. When the programme ends, the capability stays – and it keeps compounding.
-
The Accelerator works best for agencies and brand teams of 10 people or more, where the benefits of shared language, shared workflows and coordinated AI adoption really compound. We've worked with teams of 15 and studios of 150.
-
Our goal is to build AI capability that belongs to your organisation – not dependency on us. By the end of the Accelerator, your team will have the skills, the workflows and the strategy to keep building. For organisations that want continued support, we offer ongoing mentorship, coaching and bespoke consultancy.
-
Investment starts from £25,000 + VAT, based on the streams you choose and the size of your team. Book a discovery call and we'll give you a clear picture.
