Julie Blakley

A journalist by training, Julie Blakley found herself working in the digital media world after completing her degree in News-Editorial Journalism at the University of Oregon in 2007. Immersed in the rapidly growing online world of content marketing, SEO, burgeoning social media platforms and creative digital marketing, she quickly adopted new technologies and platforms to help businesses gain visibility and find success online. After spending the last three years working in Portland for a cutting-edge technology startup that helped big brands effectively use social media, technology and mobile platforms, she is now off to San Francisco where she'll be writing at a leading creative agency, crafting effective social strategies and content for some of today's forward-thinking companies and brands.
