Extension of Your Team.

Say Hello to Our Founder

Our innovative approach is the result of the experiences of our founder, Katy Thomas Young, who successfully worked both inside marketing firms and as a top-producing sales professional.

She witnessed it again and again – advertising and social media engagement piqued consumer interest. It was only when the sales force was also engaged that consumer interest was converted into measurable sales and results.

Her belief in teaming a company’s “Inside Voice” with their “Outside Voice” to generate sales gave her the courage to start Bloom Consulting. And, time after time, client after client, we consistently deliver exponential and sustainable returns.
