Reduce Freelance Stress and Manage Your Creative Business with Bloom

Managing a creative business can be chaotic and stressful. I tried every way I could think of to simplify the process: from dry erase boards, spreadsheets and printed project folders through a buffet of digital tools that all helped with "pieces of management" but didn't communicate with each other. Before I knew it, we had X software for finances and X software for managing sales and X software for customer relationship management and X software to manage production. Everything was disconnected and required a lot of manual transfer from one application to the next.

Today, you have Bloom, which empowers you to manage your creative business using a single application.
