Bio
Sulinna Ong
Julia brings a valuable and unique approach to Communications. Apart from a significant amount of expertise and understanding in the field, Julia is focused on both the broader strategic view as well as successful execution. I greatly appreciated her honest, direct and pragmatic approach, she gets to the crux of a problem or concept quickly and formulates a plan for action. Julia also takes great care in preparing and briefing her clients for key interviews and speaking engagements.
Graham Wheeler
Julia is a dedicated focused PR professional. When at HTC she was always a pleasure to work with, keen to get things done and make sure it was in the best interest of the whole company. She would not seek the limelight but would make sure all the execs within HTC were fully prepared and briefed on the topics needed. She understood the wider picture of the business and would be willing to help above and beyond her role scope. As a person she was also friendly and social, wanting to make sure people felt included in any group at work or outside. Julia lead a number of projects globally and also regionally for HTC, these included a number of product launches for HTC flagship phones to global campaigns for the wider HTC brand. Julia was great to work with, during these campaigns, due to her dedication to the task; she would work till the job was complete no matter how demanding the task was.
