Julius Solaris’s Summary
I have a passion for connecting individuals both online and offline.
I started to work in events at 16, mostly in entertainment. I kept going with my passion even during my BA in Communication and Media.
After graduating, I became marketing manager for large conferences in Italy. In 2005 I moved to Australia where I obtained an MBA in Marketing with focus on e-Business and Online Marketing.
My first job after the MBA was in corporate Marketing Communications with Natuzzi, Italian no.1 furniture manufacturer. I shifted toward consulting and online marketing at the beginning of 2007 collecting several successes with the Event Manager Blog and Linkedin.
I am now Head of blur Marketing a crowdsourced digital agency. I manage a community of the best new media freelancers available on the market.
Who do I work with?
I work with top companies willing to integrate online and offline, social media and events.
