Julie Hurley’s Experience
Digital Marketing Manager & Content Strategist
I Like Solving the Messy Part of Content.
I Love to Make It Thrive.
I bring 10+ years of content management experience, including 6+ years of direct content strategy and visual design across B2B and B2C work, taking multi-channel content from initial strategy through execution, optimization, and performance tracking.
The Big Picture
I zoom out to build a comprehensive content architecture or roadmap.
The Fine Details
I zoom in to create new content, improve a headline, restructure a page, edit for voice, or diagnose why content isn’t performing.
AI-Ready Workflows
I build tools and bridges that let teams scale production without sacrificing human voice, credibility, or depth.
