About 

Nice to meet you! I'm Julie and I'm a Sr Social Media Strategist.

I started my career in 2005 in Account service and learned over the years that my passion was in strategy. I found digging into data to find that magical nugget of insight to help clients be effective in their market efforts was exciting. As social media began to gain momentum, I turned my focus to this ever-changing, constantly challenging channel and have never looked back.
 
Since then, I have spent years running, growing, building, and evolving social media departments across multiple agencies in both Canada and the U.S.
A wonderful person, Julie Sheldon is a strategic thinker, collaborative, creative in thinking and grounded in execution.  She brings a clear and exciting vision to a brief creating engaging and fun communications that’s current, relevant and resonates with our target consumer. With her passion, commitment and attention to details she has been able to enable stronger brand health and engagement while creating, managing and executing the Smirnoff Ice Coolers Social Strategy.
-Vincent D'Souza, Brand Manager, Diageo

​​After many years of working in various agencies in Toronto, I decided to pack up and move to the West coast to freelance; working with clients and agencies both big and small.
Julie was wonderful to work with. She brought a high level of creativity and strategic thinking to her work on Home Hardware’s brand relaunch. Julie was instrumental in the development of our new digital & social media strategy, as well as the creation of the social media playbook. I highly recommend Julie for an effective and useful social media strategy that makes a measurable difference.
-Rob Wallace, Senior Director, Marketing - Home Hardware Stores Limited
I'm time zone-agnostic and have a client roster spans from Vancouver, Seattle, Toronto and New York.
From coast to coast, Canada to the U.S., I’d be happy to consult on your business.
