About DigiCon Academy
The training arm of a working agency.
We teach what we practise.
DigiCon Academy sits inside BLU Flamingo Digital Africa, a working marketing and communications agency operating across Africa.
Our teams work with businesses every week on customer experience, communication, digital channels, content and technology. DigiCon brings that practical experience into the training room.
The result is training built around the situations teams actually face at work.
We have trained corporate teams since 2015 — frontline and marketing staff inside commercial banks, entrepreneurs through the International Trade Centre, the Human Resource Managers’ Association of Uganda and the Makerere Innovation and Incubation Centre, and students through university partners including Victoria University — across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, with partners in Tanzania, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire.
What we believe
Three things we will not compromise on.
A team that helped write the rules will follow them
We do not hand over a manual. We facilitate the team into writing its own.
Training should be measured
We survey participants before and after training and give the person who commissioned the programme a written report.
Sometimes training isn’t the whole answer
If an approval, system, login or unclear rule is holding the team back, we’ll tell you.
Eleven years in. Still doing the work ourselves.
Tell us about your team and we will tell you whether we are the right people for it.
