About Julia Sonnhalter

Ever since I was a kid I was drawn to storytelling in whatever form. The anticipation of the experience about to unfold was pure magic in my mind. Always in awe of how all the elements, big and small, were used to weave together something that could be profoundly unforgettable. Throughout my career journey I have grown and evolved along with the marketing business. The constant is that great work comes from truth and human context is critical in all applications. I count myself as lucky to be doing what I love.As an accomplished leader with domestic and international client marketing, advertising, content and communication experience, I am a results-oriented and decisive leader. With proven success managing in-house creative teams, outside agency partners, and as a creative and production leader inside of agencies. I am able to identify business opportunities, construct strategic programs while also building a creative environment where teams can thrive. I understand the creative journey and balance this with a strong business sense. My special talent is the ability to unify and motivate teams; and activate an organization positively.
