Julia Burns

“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”

Anaïs Nin

Julia is fascinated by people — meeting them, getting to know them, and understanding how they think. She paired this fascination with a degree in Advertising from Syracuse University and enjoys the challenge of finding how a brand can best interact with its consumers and add value to their lives. Prior to joining Vital, Julia worked in paid media as an analyst and a media planner for brands like VH1, Staples, and Tracfone.

At Vital, Julia specializes in higher education, working on clients like University of San Diego and Pace University. For all of her clients, her favorite meeting of the month is always monthly reporting because she loves storytelling with numbers.

Julia loves conversation, so be careful if you’re just stopping by to say “Hi.” She will likely bait you in with a quick, “How was your weekend?” and you’ll leave the conversation having divulged your biggest regret, what you’d do with your life if money didn’t matter, and that one embarrassing thing you did in high school that you can’t stop thinking about.


Notable clients include: University of San Diego, Nalgene, Pace University
