Fremantle launches 35-strong Data Academy with Multiverse to embed data literacy across its workforce to standardise reporting, and empower data-driven decision-making.
Multiverse has partnered with Fremantle to launch a new Data Academy for Fremantle employees ahead of new technology and processes being deployed over the summer. Training will enable team members to automate manual processes, optimise decision making, and use predictive analytics for improved content forecasting and audience engagement.
The Data Academy will enhance Fremantle's data and insights capabilities, enabling key departments across the company to better utilise and leverage their data.
Training is being delivered by Multiverse, an upskilling platform for AI and tech adoption. Multiverse has trained more than 20,000 apprentices in AI, data and digital skills since 2016.
The 35-strong cohort will complete Multiverse’s Data & Insights for Business Decisions, a Level 3 apprenticeship which builds the technical and analytical skills needed to turn data into actionable insights, through the effective use of digital tools like Power BI and Power Automate.
Paul Wood, Head of Global Insight, Fremantle said: “This Data Academy is more than a training programme, it’s a signal of Fremantle’s intent to empower our people with the tools they need to thrive in a data driven, AI enabled world. I knew this would be a powerful next step for us, and it’s been incredible to see how enthusiastically everyone taking part from across the business has embraced the opportunity. We’re building a culture where data fluency is part of our creative DNA, and this is just the beginning.”
Jo Dolman and Kate Temple, Co-Directors Global HR, Fremantle added: “At Fremantle, we’re committed to helping our people grow with the business. This partnership with Multiverse supports that ambition, giving our colleagues new digital skills and confidence with data that will enhance their day-to-day work. It’s a real step forward in building a future ready workforce.”
Multiverse combines work and learning to unlock economic opportunity for everyone. It works with more than 1,500 organisations to close critical skill gaps in the workforce in AI, data and tech, through a new kind of apprenticeship.
Gary Eimerman, Chief Learning Officer at Multiverse, said: “Fremantle has a long-standing reputation as a major player in the global media landscape. We’re proud to support the team as they harness the power of data to fuel their continued creativity and innovation.”
