Julie Coghlan believes in the power of stories—the ones that inspire, connect, and bring people together. A seasoned communications consultant, writer, and video producer, she has spent more than two decades helping individuals, organizations, and brands find their voice and share their message in a way that truly resonates.
Based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Julie brings a rich blend of creativity, strategy, and heart to every project she touches. She has worked across industries—from corporate communications and healthcare to education, non-profits, and the creative arts—always with the same goal: to craft stories that matter.
As the founder of Julie Coghlan Communications, she specializes in turning complex ideas into compelling, accessible narratives. Whether through blog posts, social media, or website content, she helps organizations connect with their audiences in an authentic and meaningful way. Her deep understanding of branding and SEO ensures that her clients’ voices are not only heard but also found by the right people.
Before launching her consultancy, Julie shaped stories in many forms. At Barbershop Films, she produced visually stunning videos that brought ideas to life. As Director of Communications at Crofton House School, she worked closely with leadership teams to shape messaging that reflected the school’s values and vision. Her time at the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation reinforced the power of storytelling in fundraising, helping to connect donors with the real, human impact of their generosity.
Earlier in her career, Julie managed high-profile, multi-stakeholder campaigns at Porter Novelli, working with brands like Procter & Gamble and the Almond Board of California. She also led corporate social responsibility projects as the Principal of Gecko Productions in South Africa, earning a BASA Award for her work in sustainability and the arts.
Julie’s foundation in storytelling runs deep. She holds a BA Honours Degree in English and Speech and Drama from Rhodes University, complemented by certifications in Digital Content and Storytelling from the University of British Columbia. But more than credentials, what sets her apart is her ability to listen—really listen—and translate ideas into stories that inspire action.
At her core, Julie is more than just a communications expert—she’s a collaborator, a guide, and a champion for the everyday heroes who make a difference. Whether she’s producing a video, refining a brand’s message, or helping a client find the right words, her work is always driven by a simple belief: stories have the power to change the world.
