  • “Darling Bloom helped us generate genuine buzz, strong partner support and meaningful visibility for Cookie Monster Café, without relying on paid media. Coreena played a critical role in the success of the Melbourne launch. Her calm leadership, strong relationships and clear thinking helped us achieve real scale and visibility, while navigating the complexities of licensed partnerships with warmth and competence.”

    — George Milevski, General Manager Cookie Monster Café - Melbourne

In a short time she has hit the ground running, developing a national leasing strategy and exceptional leasing proposal, while also improving our local area marketing and centre engagement. We are thrilled to have her on board.”

Her positive energy, thoughtful approach, and natural ability to bring people together helped guide the campaign to a successful presentation to the City of Melbourne.

I’d happily work with her again on any future project.”
