# Bloom Consulting

> Bloom Consulting is a global consultancy dedicated exclusively to Nation Branding and City Branding. Founded in 2003, the firm advises presidents, prime ministers, ministers, mayors and government agencies on how places build, measure and manage their brand across tourism, investment, talent and exports. Headquartered in Madrid, with offices in Lisbon, London, Paris and Riyadh, and project experience across five continents.

Bloom Consulting works at the level of countries, regions and cities rather than commercial products. Its practice combines strategy (defining what a place should stand for and why), implementation (governance models, action plans and stakeholder alignment), and proprietary analytics that measure the digital demand and perception of places worldwide.

The firm is the publisher of the Country Brand Ranking, the Digital Country Index and the Digital City Index, and the creator of the Digital Demand (D2) methodology, which measures actual online search behaviour toward places as a proxy for real interest rather than stated opinion.
