SUMMARY:Bloom: Ads Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Running ads and hearing crickets hurts. Boosting posts is not a strategy\, and guessing your audience is expensive. \nThis masterclass is about creating ads that connect\, convert\, and do not feel cringe. We will break down how to match message to audience\, choose the right platform\, create scroll stopping content\, and test ads without burning cash. You will also learn which metrics actually matter and when to stop\, tweak\, or scale. \nPractical\, honest\, and built for real world founders who want results\, not just impressions.

SUMMARY:Bloom: Home Cooked to Household Name
DESCRIPTION:This International Women’s Day\, we’re celebrating big dreams\, bold moves\, and seriously good cookies. \nJoin Nadia Nesevski\, founder of Cookie Loaded\, as she shares how she turned a home-baked idea into a cookie empire. What started in her kitchen became a brand people line up for – and she’s spilling the real tea (and crumbs) on how she made it happen. \nFrom late nights and leap-of-faith moments to scaling\, branding\, and building a cult-like following\, Nadia will take you behind the scenes of growing Cookie Loaded into a household name – the wins\, the setbacks\, the risks\, and the resilience it took to back herself all the way.
