About Me

I'm a PR and LinkedIn marketing expert

Are you ready to control your personal brand narrative and promote your company culture story? Would you like to elevate your company visibility, stand out among other industry leaders on LinkedIn and be featured in news stories? Do you want to amplify your influence and build fans and followers who look to you for your business insights? 

In that case, you’re in exactly the right place.

Hi, I’m Julie, a LinkedIn Top Voice.

I help Fortune 1000 companies and senior leaders get the visibility and brand recognition they deserve through PR and LinkedIn content development.

These are MY values:

  • Creativity
  • Integrity
  • Collaboration
  • Perseverance
  • Enthusiasm

I’m not your standard PR expert – I’m all about PR without the spin.

I work with Chief Executive Officers, Chief Marketing Officers and VP Communications who want to better communicate their brand story and deepen engagement with customers, fans and followers.

I am different from other PR and integrated marketing professionals because I provide more than just PR. I function as an extension of a clients’ marketing department. My expertise is broad-based and includes strategic planning, traditional PR/media relations,  executive communication, as well as content development and digital marketing.

I tell it like it is. I’m pragmatic, truthful and the opposite of a flashy spin doctor. I partner with clients and provide them with sensible, honest counsel on all aspects of their PR and LinkedIn Marketing to raise company visibility, improve industry reputation and deepen brand affinity.

The relationships I foster with clients are anything but transactional. I’m someone people describe as “all in.” I truly care and that shows in the commitment and passion I bring to every project.

”Having the WantLeverage team as an extension of our marcom department has helped us expand our reach and make critical new connections that have paid off with exciting business opportunities and new sales leads. On top of it all, Julie and her team are some of the nicest people I have worked with during my career!”
