Strategy Finishing School with Julian is a must for any strategist in an advertising or marketing role. The amazing thing is that this coursework covers all levels from entry level to director level - from how to build a simple strategy on a page to how to run a strategy team. Julian's offerings continually grow and deepen because his passion for strategy and planning is true. I would highly recommend Finishing School to anyone in strategy.

I am a decades long account person, but Account Planner/Strategist wanna be. This course has increased by knowledge and ability to bridge the gap between client service and my creative team. It is a great self-guided, but make you do the work if you want to see some results. I was able to use templates and learning from the modules within the first week of doing the course. Thanks Julian!! Would definitely recommend to any Account Manager to help increase their skill set.

I'm a relatively new strategist (since Sept '21) and Julian's program is already the best investment I've made in my growth in a long time, perhaps ever! I have years of experience in media sales (digital, data, programmatic, e-commerce, print, audio) and long had a natural curiosity for Strategy but never felt qualified to pivot. The Strategy Finishing School brought structure and rigour to concepts I've picked up on the job and through osmosis, and gave me the skills and courage to make the step both up and across in my career at the same time. And it's worked out really damn well! Thanks Julian and all those who've contributed to developing the program. It continues to be a valuable resource when faced with a new client challenge / brief.

Coming from copywriting, Julian‘s content has helped me make the switch to creative strategy and continues to do so by delivering insightful decks, a personalised schedule of the most important topics to take on first and useful links, benchmarks and book recommendations - all in one easy to navigate through platform. If you sometimes feel unsure about the strategy you‘re setting up, The Strategy Finishing School just has the framework or the guideline to give you more substantiation and confidence.

Our team went through Strategy Finishing School together and loved it. The curriculum really spans from basic to advanced so while some sections or tools felt basic, it is great for any level to get something out of it. We continue to reference a lot of the tools and approaches in our day to day work.

Giving a solid foundation in a segment where the expectations are high, and confidence could easily be blown away. Helps to focus your work to find your workflow and framework - to improve yourself. 100% recommendation
