OUR CO-FOUNDERS
Together they co-founded outbloom following long tenures at digital agencies. Having worked together across multiple clients, they believed there was a better way to activate performance media. All too often, they saw clients not performing at their potential due to a lack of training, inexperienced teams, and layers of internal politics.
outbloom was created as a simple solution for brands who want to get the best out of their performance media from small, highly experienced teams.
You won’t find layers of dispersed teams whilst paying a bottom-loaded fee to work solely with juniors. When you work with us, from strategy to activation you will be working with director-level consultants, providing transparency, outstanding attention to detail, and complete honesty.
Our Purpose
THE PAST
Julia & Mark co-founded outbloom as a viable solution to problems that brands and agencies face in modern digital marketing. After working agency-side for over 10 years, developing teams, and working with some of the biggest brands in the world, they both saw solutions to problems that large businesses can’t be agile enough to solve.
Having both worked in director-level roles, they saw that internal politics, lack of training, and team churn lead to missed opportunities for clients. outbloom has been born out of true dedication to doing the right thing and achieving the best results possible for our clients.
The co-founders met at their previous agency, where Julia opened the first regional UK office outside of London, growing the client roster and the team with a focus on resourcing and new business. Mark oversaw all Performance Media channels and teams, owning client relationships, strategy and activation in addition to team training and development.
THE Future
outbloom believes that clients should always be given the best in the business. That’s why they only provide director-level and above consultant-led support to brands and agencies.
The typical agency model means that brands will work frequently with junior marketers, and whilst we’ve all had to start somewhere, it means that mistakes are more frequent, longer TATs, and limited problem-solving experience. With outbloom, you can expect your own consultant-led team who will work strategically with you and activate your media
WHAT TO EXPECT
Honesty
We will always be honest with you. Whether it’s a multi channel forecast that needs tweaking or a brief where we feel we can’t add any value, we will always be up front. By getting straight to it, we see better, faster results.
pragmatism
Your partners in reaching your North Star Goal. We will work with you to map out the specific steps in your digital road map. Connecting the dots practically and realistically, working alongside you to reach your goals.
Proactivity
As your digital partners, we will self-initiate work where we see fit. Be that providing you with insights, flagging potential roadblocks or strategic and agile channel pivots. We’re an extension of your team.
Experience
Our consultants have long histories in channel strategy and activation and have worked from the ground up to provide our clients with pragmatic, but boundary-pushing solutions.
WHAT TO FORGET
Ego
We operate a culture of straightforward communication and approachability. Maintaining a commitment to mutual respect, open communication and shared values.
client services
We’ve tried it and it doesn’t work for the model we provide. We cut through hierarchy and reduce complexity. You’ll speak directly to your team from day one and throughout.
hidden fees
We’re always transparent. We are upfront about our fees and provide a clear scope of what the agreed deliverables are. Clear pricing, clear expectations, clear relationships.
fixed Scopes
Market changes, consumer trends, and your business needs naturally change over time. We are flexible based on what your business needs as part of our pledge to be agile.
Our Values
No matter what. Make decisions and take actions that are ethical, honest, and in line with our values.
Be one step ahead, seek out new opportunities and welcome change.
Work with honesty, integrity and as if our clients are your own businesses. Be their safe pair of hands.
Cut the jargon and the waffle. Be considered but say what you mean. Communication and collaboration are our corner stones, which should remain clear and sharp.
Never settle.
Be direct, but show compassion, understanding, and consideration towards others.
