Julian Cole has shaped the strategies of Apple, Facebook, Disney, Uber, and more—now he’s sharing his secrets.
Before becoming the go-to consultant for global brands, he led communications planning at BBDO and BBH New York, crafting award-winning campaigns for PlayStation, Pepsi, and Bacardi.
But here’s the twist: Despite working with the biggest brands, he saw a glaring problem—strategy education was broken.
In 2019, he launched Strategy Finishing School, a program built to teach what agencies and MBAs don’t.
Since then, he’s trained 4,000+ strategists worldwide—turning complex theory into real-world strategy that actually works.
Over the last 2 years he has spent hundreds of hours working out how AI can help enhance your critical thinking, not replace it.
The best agencies invest in their talent.
Around 40% of School memberships are bought by agencies/companies for their staff.
From big network agencies and brands to small independent agencies of 5 people.
