# Berkeley Storytelling Academy
Berkeley Storytelling Academy is a specialist training provider offering immersive courses in business storytelling. Based in Reading with additional locations in London, Munich and Sydney, the academy teaches professionals how to craft compelling narratives that cut through the noise of AI-generated content flooding modern communications channels.
The academy serves corporate teams and professionals across employee communications, marketing, PR and internal business functions who need to elevate their communication impact. Their target audience includes communications directors, marketing professionals, PR practitioners and anyone responsible for conveying organisational messages in an increasingly saturated content landscape.
What distinguishes Berkeley is their pragmatic positioning around storytelling as a competitive advantage. Rather than focusing on generic communication skills, they emphasise that superior storytelling creates genuine emotional resonance—what they call "writing the goosebumps"—something artificial intelligence cannot replicate. Their courses are led by experienced storytellers, including Chris Hewitt, UK Chief Storyteller and CEO of Berkeley Communications Group, who brings credibility from careers spanning national journalism and business media.
The academy operates flexibly with in-person sessions (London morning sessions lasting 3 hours) and shorter virtual options (2 hours) to accommodate different scheduling needs. Their course catalogue includes specialisms in employee communications, B2B storytelling and brand narrative development. The parent company, Berkeley Communications Group, boasts a 4.8 Clutch rating across 22 reviews, indicating strong client satisfaction and professional credibility.
