Most content marketers have no formal training, meaning their careers take years to grow. But our content marketing bootcamp is here to change that.
Together, we will accelerate your career and get you placed in high-paying roles.
Here’s how our bootcamp works:
This is a cohort-based, part-time online bootcamp that requires 15-20 hours of study and work per week for 6 weeks.
We’ll provide pre-recorded and live video call instruction and lessons, and you’ll work directly within our private Slack channel while creating content from our pre-made content calendar. You’ll also receive constant feedback on your work so you can continuously learn, improve, and iterate—just like at a real startup.
But keep your eyes peeled…you may also get last minute requests from the “Founder…”
This is a dynamic, fast-paced learning experience meant to emulate a startup environment while giving you real-world experience by creating content for actual startups.
During and after our bootcamp, you will:
Gain access to expert content marketing instruction
Experience a fully-immersive, project-based curriculum
Create your first content marketing portfolio
Learn job hunt and interview best practices
Publish real-world, attributable content
Join an exclusive, student and alumni-only Slack community
Receive a lifetime paid membership to Content Captains
Access our alumni and startup network
Get mentorship and coaching opportunities
Earn your content marketing certification
Upon completion of our bootcamp, you’ll receive your Content Marketing Certification by Content Captains to signal to the world you’re no ordinary content marketer.
You’ll also get to compete for $10,000, create content for startups like Biöm, SwipeBuilder, and Ramp Health, and launch your content marketing career.
Startups tend to reward top performers more often than anywhere else, so we figured you deserve to compete for a bonus.
That’s why upon completion of our bootcamp, the top distinguished graduate will win $10,000 USD (or $10,000 USD-equivalent in BTC, ETH, or SOL).*
Not $10,000 in prizes—$10,000 period.
