Nice things people have said about me
João Braga - Global ECD Publicis, Previously CCO Wunderman thompson
JB is very likely the nicest, most generous human being you’ll ever meet inside an ad agency. And also at the pub, surf, hike or pretty much anywhere the really nice and generous humans like to go. He also comes super handy if you’re after brilliant ideas, or just beautiful, incredibly crafted stuff. Or both. His work ethic is also second to none, and I’ve no idea how he manages to gather and curate the world’s very coolest stuff on a weekly basis. The man’s 6’7” tall too, but he didn’t actually need any of it. That infectious energy and optimism already fills the entire room.
Jack Delmonte - CD VML
Julian is a unicorn. He’s one of the rare Art Directors you come across in advertising agencies that can actually, well, direct art. Not only does Julian have sharp conceptual idea, but he’s got a killer eye and all the tools to bring it to life in the most beautiful way possible. He’s all time, you should probably hire him.
Paul Nagy - CCO VML APAC
“Two things you need to know about Julian: One, he resembles a human lighthouse… very, very tall, and dome-like on top. Two, he will never let you down (also what you’d kinda expect from a lighthouse, but I wasn’t expecting this metaphor to run quite this far). He’s a wonderful team member, always puts his hand up to help out and cares very deeply about adding value through creativity. He would give a lift to any creative department, and ships will be far less likely to run into your agency. Okay I’ll stop now. Hire him.”
Lee Leggett - CEO BBDO AUNZ, Previously CEO of wunderman thompson
“Julian’s one of the most creatively driven and thoughtful people I’ve worked with. He’s full of smart ideas, easy to collaborate with, and always brings a calm, can-do energy to the team. More than anything, he cares more than most. An awesome human to have in the Creative Department but more than that, an awesome human to have in the agency all round.”
Richard Williams - Group ECD VML
“Unfortunately, I only worked with Jules for a fleeting moment, but it was long enough to catch a glimpse of his diligence, unwavering energy and his creative astuteness. Oh, and his coffee IQ is second to none.”
Gavin Bain - CEO APAC Verian group, previously CEO of Wunderman Thompson
“JB is one of those rare talents who brings his lateral thinking, authenticity and hard work to every brief he receives. He’s first in and last out, treats his clients and team members with empathy and respect, and just generally gets shit done. I loved working with him and I’m sure you will too.”

JB is as smart as he is tall, which is ‘very’. Maybe I’m just short? Regardless, his design thinking background, coupled with his relentlessly curious mind and conceptual strength, make him such a weapon in any creative department. And, most importantly, he has a sense of humour and a relaxed energy which helps immensely when you’re in the war trenches of advertising.
Rachel Rider - Executive Producer VML
Julian is an incredibly detailed and thoughtful Art Director. He works well as an individual or in a team based environment. Julian’s understanding of the post production process is invaluable. He is also very curious and experimental with AI which will hold him in good stead as he progresses through his career.
