Case study

The client

Leading the decorating industry through transformation

Dulux, part of AkzoNobel, is one of the UK's most trusted decorating brands. Dulux Academy exists to upskill the professional decorating community — but when up to 66% of decorators were due to retire within a decade, Academy faced an existential challenge: how do you save an entire industry from skills crisis?

The client

The challenge

Dulux Academy needed to reach geographically dispersed, time-poor decorators who sat outside the traditional learning ecosystem. The challenge wasn't just building a platform — it was convincing an entire profession to embrace digital learning for the first time.

The Dulux Academy

Launched in November 2022 on Thinqi, THE HUB became the UK decorating sector's first fully integrated learning journey. Every delegate at an in-person Dulux Academy course is introduced to THE HUB, with exclusive post-course content ensuring learning doesn't stop when the session ends.

the solution

Personalised content, live workshops and peer networking

Content recommendations are tailored based on what users engage with. Live Academy workshops broadcast through THE HUB enable real-time interaction between experts and decorators nationwide. Customer insights drive new courses and strategies — built by the trade, for the trade.

Rebalancing the profession through accessibility

Where only 20% of the traditional workforce is female, 40% of all online learners on THE HUB are women. The platform's flexible, accessible nature is actively opening pathways to those who might have been excluded by traditional face-to-face constraints.

the result

From crisis to transformation in three years 

15,000 people have been trained — 66% above the original projection — with a target of 25,000 by 2025. City & Guilds certified courses now offer formal qualifications with genuine industry weight, and a Net Promoter Score of +96 proves hard-to-reach audiences will engage when learning is relevant, trusted and accessible.
