Do you want to join one of the fastest growing professional networks for women in communications? Discover our dynamic and supportive community, mentor an industry rising star and help us break down the barriers to equal opportunity in our industry.
We call upon our members, friends and allies who share our desire for a truly equal industry to stand with us and help to:
Future-proof women’s careers.
Spearhead industry change.
Pay it forward.
We have four core values to help us do this:
INCLUSIVE
Everyone is welcome at Bloom. We don’t judge anyone on their gender, sexuality, race, disability, age, experience or social background. Yes, our member base is female, however we want to welcome all opinions without bias. In fact, we welcome it, as diversity of thought brings the best ideas to the table.
REAL
We pride ourselves on being honest and aren’t afraid to make ourselves vulnerable as we tackle the barriers to our success. We understand the strength in our ‘naked truths,’ and know that telling our stories, no matter how hard, will inspire others and spearhead change throughout the industry.
DRIVEN
We are doers. At work, outside of work and within Bloom. We’re passionate about our mission, giving Bloom 110% with the time we can commit. Our members and leadership team are all volunteers, united in the belief that we can achieve more when we come together to smash goals.
FUN
There is a lot of heaviness and uncertainty in the world, and our lives, that we can’t control or always escape. Bloom is a place for relaxed, uplifting and inspiring initiatives and conversations to make this industry better for us all. If we’re not having fun together, then what’s the point?
MEMBERSHIP
Bloom is a professional network of women with a mission to ensure EVERY woman is given equal opportunities in the communications industry. Our highly-engaged members have been actively spearheading industry change, future proofing women’s careers and paying it forward to the next generation for 12 years.
What we do
We’re on a mission to ensure women have equal opportunity in the communications industry. By harnessing the power of their real voices, we strive to future-proof women’s careers, spearhead industry change and pay it forward. To this day, we have remained discipline-agnostic and welcome members from across the broader media, marketing and advertising industries.
How we do it
Our Bloom members are active in a programme of events and initiatives. We listen to a diverse range of industry voices, participate in skill sharing and mentoring, and benefit from the support of women at each stage of their careers. Each Bloom member supports industry newcomers by dedicating time each month to mentor younger women in communications. As well as supporting new Bloom mentees, we have a dedicated network for former mentees who want to remain active within Bloom called BOOST.
We also act as a big sister network to BelEve, offering them our time, skills and knowledge, plus helping them with work experience placements within the industry.
We are proud to host industry events, panels and workshops focusing on the challenges and opportunities that exist for women in the industry
As an entirely volunteer-led organisation, our members shape what we do and how we do it. Joining this inclusive, inspiring, and supportive community means committing to help us as we fight to achieve our mission.
