Using my 16-years of experience in media and communications, I provide strategic consultancy to organisations as they adapt to the demands of the social age. I have significant expertise in reputation management, social brand development, and brand story telling, gained as a business journalist (FT Group), financial PR (Finsbury), and digital agency director (Five by Five).

These social brand consultancy projects are focused on creating enhanced business performance and well defined ROI for clients.

I've worked with brands including; Aviva, News Corporation, Shell, McLaren Automotive, the BBC, Activision, The Environment Agency, BDO, Skandia, RSA, and Virgin.         

I maintain a keen interest in the media, telecoms and technology sectors from my days as a ‘hack’ and as a veteran of the original ‘dotcom bubble’ in 2000. I publish my own thoughts on social branding at www.juliusduncan.wordpress.com
