I'm Julie Turkel

As a brand licensing agent, I've taken my clients from seed stage to multi-million dollar lifestyle brand through licensing partnerships. My clients are established artists, designers and media personalities including interior designer Nate Berkus, designer Dabney Lee and influencers like Srah McCallsiter.

My boutique licensing agency began with a very bold cold call to my dream client. Without any contacts in the design world, my "art" was knowing just the right thing to say, and how to say it, to my hook my target audience. Armed with my pitching superpowers, I've had the good fortune to work with some of the best talent in the business. The rest is two decades of launching licensing programs at Target, Staples, Walmart, Sam's Club, Macy's, Crate & Barrel, TJ Maxx and more.

I created this course after seeing hundreds of pitches from creatives that, frankly, missed the mark. I know you all need this resource! In this course, I share the exact methods I and other pros use for pitching and landing licensing deals. No gatekeeping allowed!

What people are saying about Julie's courses and coaching...

"My biggest win has been signing with a licensing agency! I’m very excited to start making passive income off of my art and not just selling individual paintings.""

- Kortni Gunn @kortnigunn.art

"My goals for 2022 was to learn more about licensing and work towards getting an agent for my artwork... Since [working with Julie] I was able to understand the industry better, revise my brand book, pitch to licensors and sign a contract with an agent. Thank you Julie!"

- Leslie Trimbach @leslietrimbach

"I think perhaps the most needed and impactful course lesson (for me) was the downloadable template... I'm such a visual person it was super helpful to complement all of the great advice and commentary... It was something I could action immediately, which helped me visualize my plan..."
