She thrives on the creative process of developing a marketing concept that excites people, and of being part of the hands-on team bringing it to life. With 20+ years of experience in communications, she is a strategist known for intelligent counsel, creative strategies and award-winning results.

In 2000, at 29, Julia launched RED PR with a phone, a rolodex and a handful of clients. Now, it is one of America’s leading boutique beauty and lifestyle PR firms. The Observer has recognized RED PR as one of the top five beauty specialty firms every year since it started publishing the respected list in 2015. The firm was also recognized by PR News as an Elite Agency of the Year in 2016.

Julia leads the RED team on national and international campaigns. She works closely with each client to envision and define programs that resonate with consumers and strengthen their reputation. Her clients benefit from her long-standing industry and media relationships. Julia and the team’s work has been recognized through the numerous PR awards including two PR News Top Women in PR Awards, three prestigious PRSA Big Apples and multiple Bulldog Reporter Awards.

She honed her expertise in communications, beauty and fashion through positions at Shop PR, Lippe Taylor Communications, Vogue Magazine, Hill & Knowlton, CBS News and WNET’s Bill Moyers show.
