This is more than just a course and certificate. It truly encompasses another level of strategic thinking, excellent toolbox, and strategic support through a great community. I'd highly recommend the Strategy Finishing School!

This is simply the best and most comprehensive course out there for those getting into or wanting to progress their strategy career. Julian is a master of the craft and really wants to see you evolve your career and skillset. He also makes things as easy as possible to understand. Worth every penny!

Great library and tools for any experienced strategists or anyone willing to become one and get a foot in the door in the agency world.
By Can
This course provides a fantastic foundation for someone like me who is shifting from an adjacent field (marketing creative/writer) to strategy. It's extremely in-depth and always being updated. I plan to finish the entire program but definitely recommend the fundamentals module for anyone looking to dip their toes (and then some!) in the strategy discipline.

I have just started studying but can already note how informative the lessons are. The School has an interactive format – perfect for those who concentrate badly on one long video. You watch short lessons, make exercises and read. Thanks, Julian!

I have been a member of the Academy since its inception. I have been working as an Account Manager/Account Director since 2010, and a few years ago, the time had come for me to move on. After more than 10 years of experience in client service, and thanks to the Strategy Finishing School, I have gained enough self-confidence to try and overcome my imposter syndrome. This course helped me organize my knowledge about marketing strategy into a system, clarified concepts, roles, and methodology. The course provided several decks, campaign best practices, and the Facebook group is highly inspiring.

This course is hands down the most useful resource I've come across in my career in marketing and creative. I've been staggered by the clarity and breadth of content. It's packed full of tools, links and examples, and the icing on the cake is the community. Thank you.
