ABOUT Julian Gallo

I’m a Creative Director (art) based in Chicago. I’ve built my career on the general consumer side of advertising —bouncing between scrappy independents and big holding companies—before making the jump into Pharma over the last few years.

I care deeply about the craft. I like pushing the edges of what’s possible (yes, even in regulated spaces) and finding the tension between smart strategy and unexpected creative. I keep a close eye on culture, trends, and where things are headed—then figure out how to turn that into work that actually lands.

If there’s something interesting to make, let’s talk.
