Bloom UK

Last Friday, we hosted a Bloom Skills Workshop led by our member Katia Chrysostomou, focusing on how to effectively sell yourself for career advancement. Also big thank you as well to Diksha Sonal who volunteered to help organise the morning. During the breakfast session, we explored key strategies for overcoming obstacles, including tips on standing out, attracting the right people, and seising opportunities. We were pleased to see a wonderful group in attendance at the event, which was graciously hosted by one of our annual sponsors, DoubleVerify. #TogetherWeAreBloom

Today is International Allyship Day, a day dedicated to celebrating and promoting the power of allyship across the world. Allyship means actively supporting the rights of minority or marginalized groups without being a member of those groups.  It seems a huge juxtaposition to celebrate this amidst the violence and extreme hatred that’s spreading across the country right now. However, this context underscores the urgent need to amplify the importance of allyship. At Bloom, allyship is at the core of who we are. Our Allyship Code outlines the best way to be an ally:  Actively advocate and amplify  Listen and learn  Lean in and lessen the load  Include and integrate intersectionality  Empower equity and drive equality  Sense Check, Speak Up and Support  Today, we want to shout loud and clear that we stand with all communities affected by the current violence, racism, Islamophobia and criminal disorder.  Bloom is committed to providing a safe space for women within the communications industry that are going through shared challenges. We house a whole range of inclusion groups, which are here to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued - whether you identify with the inclusion group or are just there as an ally. Right now, that has taken on a whole new meaning. We are a network that supports, enables and empowers women and we recognise how important it is that we stand up for each other, united, and condemn these acts of violence. They do not speak for any of us here at Bloom. We are here to offer support, understanding, and empathy to anyone who needs it right now. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our industry partners and organisations as well as charities and support services across the country. We stand by them in saying that this behaviour has absolutely no place in our society. We also acknowledge that we don’t have all the answers and encourage you to reach out to NABS for further support if you’ve been affected. Together, let’s uphold the spirit of allyship and stand strong against hatred.  #TogetherWeAreBloom
