Case studies

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.

 

Jordan Design 3D Design

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.


The CoreBranding, Design & Creative

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.


OgilvyPromotional, Experiential, Design, Branding & Digital

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.


FreshMindsMarket Research
This multi-disciplinary market research company boasts an impressive portfolio of clients from a wide range of sectors.

Here's the case study with more information.

Here's what Crayon had to say about Blossom.
