Our Mission & Core Values

We are an inclusive, passionate, and mission-driven team that cares deeply about the growth of our people, the success of our clients, and the collective impact we can make to create positive change in the world.

Invested in
Talent & Heart

Our team members are our greatest asset. We hire and retain people from diverse backgrounds who are not only able to create a big impact for our clients, but also demonstrate our core values daily.

Believe in True Partnership Between Agency & Client

We value and prioritize trusting and positive relationships with our clients that always include respect, transparency, honesty, and genuine friendliness.

Committed to Reliability & Follow-Through Excellence

We follow through on our commitments 100% of the time. If we say we’re going to take care of something, you can rest assured we’ll deliver on-time, on-budget, and with excellence.

Practice Fiscal
Responsibility

We always find unique ways to do more with less. We work hard to conserve client financial resources as if they were our own, and will only recommend additional business when it best serves the client.

Fueled by a Passion
for the Greater Good

We take an active role in our communities by working with mission-driven organizations because we believe it’s imperative to serve others.

Dedicated to a Creative & Individualized Approach

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Each of our team members brings a unique set of skills and insights, and we leverage each of them for your benefit.

Woman Owned

In 2012, Bloom’s Founder & Owner, Brianna McKinney, set out to create a different kind of agency—one that manages to be financially successful while also empowering and celebrating the differences of all its employees. Understanding the need for an inclusive and welcoming environment, Bloom’s culture incorporates not only the strengths that women bring to business, but the perspectives and values that a diverse and equitable work force brings to the community and world.
