Jules is one of the rare ones who does stuff rather than just talks about other people’s stuff. He’s smart – he’s a good hire I think.

Hi ?,

Thanks for the question. If you are familiar with Julian’s blog then you really should knowe all about his work too. The blog is replete with case studies. One of its distinguishing features is that he shares both his successes and his failures/ learnings.

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella

I’m not across Julian Cole’s work besides his blog. What campaigns has he produced? Has he done any good work or just commented on it as the work coming out of Population to date has been average.

I’d imagine ‘oh no’ is just bitter and stuck in a jealous time-warp.

Get with the times! Embrace skill & passion wherever it flourishes and nurture it accordingly. Are you working for you, or your client? Or for innovation? New? Better? Advancement? Change? The greater good?

Back to the drawing board for ‘oh no’….

Hi Scott,

I must admit that I thought “oh no” was making an ironic comment on old skool agency think. But now I’m worrying slightly that they meant it… “Oh no”: care to elucidate?

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella

Wow, what’s with the hating!

“There was a time when juniors straight out of uni had to earn their stripes before they could claim this shameless level of self promotion.”

Have you read Julian’s blog? Plenty of stripes earned and presented as useful case studies, years of regular weekly value delivered, and more importantly, solid social media execution across multiple campaigns in the last year. What sort of experience were you looking for?!

For those who think the video is self-indulgent, you are absolutely right – it is wonderfully so and, in my humble opinion, very funny for it.

Why is there a comment saying “Well done Zac”?

I love that we’re so closely associated Juju. :]

Hmmm… all I noticed was the typo on the home page of the TCO.

this is embarassing!

People’s work should speak louder than their self proclaimed ‘hot air’

Great job Julian. A well deserved appointment, and the best video by a social media professional that I’ve ever seen.
