Learning without limits.

Problem

The Big Idea faced the technical challenge of moving their physical training programs online while maintaining their vibrant community atmosphere. They needed a platform that could handle diverse content types – from video tutorials to interactive assignments – while supporting collaborative learning. The platform also needed to scale efficiently as their digital audience grew.

Solution

We architected a custom learning platform using Next.js for optimal performance and SEO. The solution centres on Contentful's structured content model, allowing course creators to build and modify content without technical help. Algolia powers an intelligent search system that helps users discover relevant content across different learning paths. We built custom components for interactive elements that mirror the engagement of in-person sessions.

Results

The digital platform successfully transitioned TBI's physical courses to an online environment, making their creative education programs more accessible to a wider audience. The new platform supports ongoing content launches and maintains strong user engagement. Most importantly, it gave TBI a foundation for continued growth in online education without losing the collaborative spirit that made their in-person training special.
