BBM Studios Workforce & Media Innovation Campus is designed to turn creativity, talent, and lived experience into real economic opportunity.
Talk to Our Development TeamOur vision is to create a hands-on workforce and media ecosystem where youth and adults can learn industry-relevant skills, build businesses, create professional content, gain real production experience, and develop pathways toward employment, entrepreneurship, and ownership.
BBM Studios brings together film and digital media, game development, AI and emerging technology, music and audio production, publishing, advertising, entrepreneurship, and workforce development under one connected model. Participants will not simply take classes — they will create real projects, work with industry professionals, build portfolios, develop businesses, serve community and commercial clients, and gain experience that leads directly to jobs, contracts, business ownership, and continued education.
Our long-term goal is to build a scalable Wisconsin-based model that connects creative workforce development, technology, entrepreneurship, community opportunity, and economic mobility — creating a stronger pipeline of diverse creators, professionals, and business owners. BBM Studios is not just building a campus. We are building pathways from talent to opportunity, from ideas to ownership, and from overlooked potential to measurable success.
Establish BBM Studios as Wisconsin's leading creative workforce development organization. Build the program model, employer partnerships, and community trust that will anchor the permanent campus.
Acquire and develop the permanent campus facility. Build out core production studios, training spaces, and entrepreneurship incubator. Begin operations from the permanent location.
Expand the campus into a full creative innovation ecosystem — adding residential facilities, a public-facing creative marketplace, and regional satellite locations across Wisconsin.
Every square foot of the BBM Studios campus is designed around one question: what does it take to produce career-ready creative professionals and successful creative businesses?
Broadcast-quality video production stages, audio recording suites, podcast studios, and post-production editing bays — all built to industry standard and available for both training and commercial client work.
High-performance computing labs for game development, AI/ML creative applications, digital marketing, and interactive media — equipped with the hardware and software the industry actually uses.
Dedicated workspace for BBM Studios graduates launching and growing creative businesses — private offices, shared coworking, meeting rooms, and a client-facing presentation suite.
A flexible event venue, community gathering space, and public-facing creative showcase area — designed to make the campus a neighborhood anchor and a destination for Wisconsin's creative community.
The BBM Studios campus isn't just a facility investment — it's an economic development investment with measurable returns for Wisconsin.
