We were delighted to present the Ally of the Year award at the 2026 Bloom Awards – and to sponsor an event that celebrates both the progress of the Bloom Network and the industry as a whole.
These awards shine a light on people who are lifting others up and making real, lasting change. The Ally of the Year category, in particular, recognises those who actively support, advocate, and create space for others to succeed – something we care deeply about. Congratulations to everyone who made the shortlist and to the winner, Susi Castle.

Bloom is doing important work to empower women across the advertising and communications industry. Through mentoring, events, and a strong sense of community, they’re helping to break down barriers and support women at every stage of their careers. We’re proud to be working alongside them.
