Below you will find a series of case studies and testmionials that we hope will underline our effectiveness and provide a fuller picture of how we work.
Blossom worked with Jordan Design in 2011 to plan and install a sustainable HR solution for their new business objectives. This involved recruiting and training an experienced new business manager, improving the expression of their proposition, and changing the way they approach sales, from the first point of contact through to successful pitch. Our initial audit also led to a rebrand and the development of a 3-year business plan. Click here for full details. Click here for candidate testimonial.
In 2010, Omnicom bought The Core as its first acquisition in 3 years. Not having invested in proactive new business before, The Core turned to Blossom to ensure the HR was in place to do it right. Click here for the full case study.
Blossom worked with the Ogilvy Group agencies, Dialogue 141 and Ogilvy Action. Our challenge was to help them find a new business planner able to split their time between both. Charged with prospecting and securing pitch opportunities, this person reports into heads in each agency. We undertook a dual planning process, created a robust targeting model and ensured the role could service both businesses correctly. For full details please click here.
Hicklin Slade & Partners merged with the digital agency Crayon in 2009 to enhance their integrated offering. They asked Blossom to help them find a new business executive to build awareness and create qualified meeting opportunities for the senior team at Crayon. Having used outsourced new business providers in the past (with mixed results) HS&P wanted to inject more energy and pace into their dialogue with the market. Here's what Crayon had to say about Blossom.

Fluent Interaction had never invested in a structured new business programme nor had anyone prospecting. With a history of organic growth they had a great platform to grow from. Blossom was engaged to find the right person to lead the new business function but equally important we worked to develop their proposition and targeting model. Please see the full case study here, the client testimonial here and the candidate testimonial here.
5one engaged Blossom to both search for and train a New Business Development Manager - a position that our business had lacked for over 12 months.

Brandhouse is a branding and design agency that first engaged Blossom in 2008.
