Laura Begley Bloom

Laura Begley Bloom is the founder of Begley Bloom Media, which works with travel and luxury lifestyle brands to provide content strategy, driving consumer engagement, business, and innovation. Clients include Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Lincoln Motor Company, New York’s Time Warner Center, eBay, and more. Laura also writes a popular travel column for Forbes and contributes to a number of media outlets, including Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure, and the New York Post.

Prior to launching Begley Bloom Media, Laura was the editor-in-chief of Yahoo Travel, where she oversaw all aspects of the digital magazine. Laura used her skills as a leader, content producer, and change agent to transform Yahoo Travel into the world’s most-read travel magazine. In February 2016, the North American Travel Journalists Association awarded Yahoo Travel the gold medal for top online travel magazine, under her leadership. Yahoo Travel folded in early 2016 as part of a major reorganization at the company.
Prior to joining Yahoo, Laura was the deputy editor of Travel + Leisure, where she led a team, oversaw the brand’s coverage of worldwide travel destinations across platforms, helped steer the creative direction, and launched a multi-platform content division that — in collaboration with the marketing and sales teams — drove innovation and revenue.

Laura has also been a travel editor at Condé Nast’s Brides magazine, a reporter at Money magazine, a stringer for The New York Times, and a contributor at Wallpaper* magazine. She appears regularly on television, including Good Morning America and NBC Today, and has spoken at conferences hosted by the Harvard Business School, The New York Times, and the NYU Hospitality School.

Journalism is part of Laura’s heritage: Her great great grandfather was a Civil War correspondent for the Chicago Tribune.
