#TogetherWeAreBloom
We still have a way to go before women have equal opportunity in our industry let alone those women who are further marginalised by race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, disability, or gender identity.
To be truly equal, we need to break down the barriers in our way.
The cultural ones, the industry ones and the ones we reinforce within ourselves.
We are committed to empowering women to be whoever they want to be, to unlock their full potential, to fight for the equity they deserve.
The real voices of women can bring the change we need.
Because we believe in truth as a force for change. The naked truth. Real stories, shared honestly, that lift us up and give us the strength and skills to overcome the challenges we face.
We call upon our friends and allies who share our desire for a truly equal industry to stand by us.
Because together, we are Bloom.
We’re a network 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 all while fostering a strong, supportive, fun and kind community.

Our latest industry research: THE JUGGLE
In 2024 we launched The Juggle - the industry's biggest consultation into work-life balance. Concerns about work-life balance are cited as a key factor in women's continued underrepresentation in particular job roles. But most studies into work-life balance only consider gender divides and lump women together into one homogenous group. So we took it one step further with The Juggle. It’s the biggest and most in-depth consultation into this issue through an intersectional lens to explore how different groups of women are affected. And it’s highlighted some really key themes.
“Bloom’s research underlines the importance of the lens of intersectionality to drive both understanding and change”
“We’re in the midst of a work/life crisis”
We even have a podcast! Naked Truths offers a deeper dive into the issues that are important to Bloom’s mission and amplifies the network’s industry-shifting initiatives. The episodes get right to the heart of difficult conversations, striving to inspire real, actionable change in the communications and creative industries. Each episode has three voices from the industry, a host from the Bloom network and two guests, and the schedule follows the themes of our Bloom events and regular 'Booth of Truth' confessions.
