A respected communications planner his thoughtful and considered manner is combined with solid practical experience and a pragmatic approach. Following an economics degree Julian started his career with a regional agency before moving to London to work with some of the most respected agencies of the 1980's including Yellowhammer and DMB&B.

Returning to the agency side in the early 1990's he joined a leading regional agency and became its Managing Director in 1994. In 1996 he was approached to join the board of the agency that, with his help, grew to become the largest in the south of England and one of the largest integrated agencies in the UK. Julian has an MBA from Southampton Business School and furthers his academic interests by acting as an external examiner on undergraduate marketing courses. His combination of senior client, agency management and broad-based marcomms experience gives him a valuable perspective to offer his clients.
