Background

About Julia Hallawell

Imaginative, adventurous, bold and tenacious with a sensibility for story, and an eye for beauty. A natural mentor and a good-humoured team player. A former actor and theatre producer, I am a PR, marketing & comms leader with over 25 years’ extensive experience handling high profile individuals in the public eye. I have worked across multiple aspects within the UK creative industries. You name it, I’ve probably done it… I am: A deeply skilled and strategic publicist - a daring, out-of-the-box, blue-sky thinker who reaches for the stars. A results-driven deliverer, with a proven and instinctive ability to match the 'pitch' to the 'audience' choosing the best communication channel. An innate storyteller with strong project management experience and excellent client liaison and stakeholder management skills. A media relations specialist with extensive celebrity, publicist, media, and arts & entertainment industry contacts. I have: An exceptional flair for crafting key messaging, visual storytelling, copywriting and content creation across diverse platforms. Outstanding interpersonal skills - confident, intelligent, sensitive and discerning handling of creative talent, celebrities, CEOs, royals and VIPs. Extensive experience of event and media management at premières, international film festivals, launches, press nights, red-carpet award ceremonies and fund-raising galas. A passion for photography and solid experience in selecting striking imagery for press, visual display, exhibitions, advert design, and published digital and physical materials. Good fluency in French, with some German and Italian, and basic Swahili as my mother was Kenya-born and bred.
