Who is Blooming Media PEI ….

Katelyn Bruce is the face behind a 'budding' social media company based in Souris, PEI, Canada. Whether you know it or not, you've probably seen a lot of her work on your Facebook & Instagram pages in these last few years. She's an experienced event coordinator and can be your go-to girl for all details, planning & execution of your web needs. You know her “gift of the gab” had to come in handy somewhere with communication skills that won’t leave any of the tiny details forgotten.

To back it up, Katelyn has a BA in Criminology and worked with DV clients out west for a few years after chasing the dollar signs to Fort McMurray. During the years spent in Fort McMurray, Katelyn worked at a women’s DV shelter as a front-line crisis intervention worker as well as special events coordinator. After moving home with their “fire” baby, Katelyn landed a gig with a local “celebrity” chef, as a Marketing and Productions Manager, but then the pandemic happened, and everyone was laid off.

For the first time since the age of 15, Katelyn didn’t have a full-time job. Filling her time with gardening, houseplants, and hiding on a mini funny farm in Little Pond, as they waited out the first few months of the pandemic. With the tourism industry hit so hard by the lockdowns, Katelyn wasn’t able to find work locally. So instead she worked on expanding her knowledge of web development and, it’s looking like that was a good idea. Within her first two years of starting “Blooming Media PEI”, Katelyn has helped 12 small business launch their own websites and expand the reach of their small businesses.

Blooming Media was never intended as a full-time job, more of a side hustle per say, but we think you’ll be seeing a lot more of this budding small business in the years to come….

Right now? Katelyn is currently on Maternity Leave from Island East Tourism Group, Points East Coastal Drive, as their Social Media Coordinator.
