It's a belief I’ve held since I first started working in the creative industry over 20 years ago.  During this time, I’ve found that too often businesses are unsure how to get their great work, ideas and thoughts into the media and in the process, grab the attention of a more global audience.  

Sound familiar? Is your company creating game changing projects that help your client's brands thrive and shine but you're not getting the wider recognition your hard work deserves? Do you want to see your work talked about in the media but are unsure how to go about it?  Then you've come to the right place.

About me

I'm Julia James, a London based PR and communications expert with over 20 years experience in the design industry. I transform under the radar creative companies to become brands and known as experts in their field. I understand the business challenges and know how to super-charge the profile of companies not just in their immediate sector, but beyond to a global audience.  Through a no PR fluff approach, clarity of communications and long-held relationships with the media, I help you to tell the story that good design benefits all.

Industry background

I started Julia James PR with a passion to help more creative businesses become better known for what they do. I've been an in-house PR manager at two well-known design businesses and for the past 12 years, have worked independently as a PR consultant to some of the industry's great names. I have a huge respect for our sector. The people and companies that I have and have had the privilege to work with, constantly inspire me. I feel proud to see how our collaborative efforts have helped them to fly. 

I've successfully conducted PR programs across a number of disciplines from retail, to transport design - particularly the aviation sector -, hospitality, branding, brand strategy, packaging, industrial & product design and so on.  Always with professionalism, integrity, honesty and a smile on my face.

I develop ideas with my client’s to create thinking and concepts that are future focused and born out of their considerable experience. I take those ideas to the media. But I don’t just focus on the industry media, I aim to get a wider audience from BBC R4 to lengthy articles in The New Yorker, so my clients get to reach a broader business, consumer and lifestyle community. I help position them as world-class experts in their field. I put them on more stages, get them winning awards, more broadcast opportunities and column inches. In short, I help creative companies become famous. And not just for 15 minutes.
