AI Upskilling · L&D Consultancy · Learning & Skills Platforms
Brain Brew helps organisations and their people get genuinely ahead of AI — whether that's a workforce that works smarter, a production team that delivers faster, or an in-house creative team that no longer needs to outsource. All powered by two enterprise platforms you can also license direct.
What We Do
We don't deliver generic training. Every Brain Brew programme is designed around your people, your tools, and your specific performance gaps — then embedded so it actually changes how people work.
Practical, role-specific AI training for teams of all sizes — from leadership to operations, technology teams and customer-facing roles. Our programmes are designed in alignment with internationally recognised AI skills frameworks — including those developed by the Alan Turing Institute — ensuring every programme reflects globally endorsed competency standards, not just internal methodology.
We start with a structured skills diagnostic to identify exactly where investment will have the greatest impact, then design programmes that change behaviour from day one. Backed by over a century of collective L&D experience — built for the people whose work AI is already changing.
Every major DCC tool your artists use has been shipping significant AI-driven features. The studios getting ahead are the ones whose artists are actually using them in production, not bookmarking tutorials they'll never watch.
Our global network of specialist trainers work at the sharp end of VFX, animation, and games production. We design programmes around your pipeline, your tools, and your delivery pressures.
The tools that used to belong exclusively to VFX studios and broadcast post-production are now accessible to internal creative teams — with the right upskilling. We help marketing, comms, and internal creative teams produce content to a standard that previously required agency outsourcing.
Reduce costs. Increase speed. Maintain brand control. We assess your team's capability, identify the right tools, and design a programme around how you actually work.
Who We Work With
Whether you're running a VFX pipeline, a 250-person consultancy, or an in-house marketing team spending too much on agencies — the underlying approach is the same: assess, scope and decide, then design, develop and deploy — with support to embed.

How We Work

Our Platforms & Partners
Most training providers leave the loop open: skills gaps are guessed at, training is delivered blind, and nobody measures what changed. Brain Brew closes it with two enterprise platforms — Kepler + Co for skills intelligence and Valamis for learning delivery — alongside a deep global network of specialist trainers across VFX, animation, games, and enterprises of all sizes.
Brain Brew partners with Kepler + Co, an AI-first Human Capital Management platform, to bring structured skills intelligence to every engagement. Before training is designed, Kepler's AI builds a complete skills framework for your organisation — identifying exactly who needs what and generating bias-corrected, scenario-based assessments for every role. Post-delivery, it tracks skills development in real time and delivers board-ready ROI reporting. For smaller organisations with no existing HR infrastructure, Kepler provides an all-in-one solution free for up to 5 people — making the full Brain Brew proposition accessible from day one, at any scale.
Where Kepler tells you exactly which skills are missing, Valamis is where the learning gets delivered. A state-of-the-art learning platform, Valamis hosts and personalises every Brain Brew programme — structured learning paths, blended and self-paced delivery, and analytics that show capability actually growing across your workforce. It excels equally for internal workforce development and customer training, and it's every bit as strong as a standalone platform for organisations ready to upgrade how their people learn — across the creative sector and beyond.
Companies of every size can license Kepler + Co, Valamis, or both directly through Brain Brew — no upskilling engagement required. Take the skills intelligence, take the learning platform, or take the full closed loop with Brain Brew training on top. We'll get you set up either way.
