Social media strategist Julian Cole quits The Population for TCO
Julian Cole, co-founder of social media agency The Population, is quitting for a new role at The Conscience Organisation, Mumbrella can reveal.
He makes the announcement in a spoof dating video:
The Population was launched just over a year ago and fronted by former nineMSN marketing director Tony Thomas.
Haven’t TCO been through an insane amount of staff the past 2 years? Hope Julian knows what he’s doing.
lucky he had the new job lined up already.
Congrats to both Julian and TCO.
Well done Jules. A wonderful pickup for TCO.
Nice Jules, love the video and congrats on the new role.
Congrats Julian, I hope everything goes well at The Conscience Organisation!
ahhh Gen Y. how thee loves thine own image.
Great job Julian. A well deserved appointment, and the best video by a social media professional that I’ve ever seen.

Well done Zac. Great effort.
Best not to smoke what you sell, never ends well.
this is embarassing!
There was a time when juniors straight out of uni had to earn their stripes before they could claim this shameless level of self promotion.
People’s work should speak louder than their self proclaimed ‘hot air’
Hmmm… all I noticed was the typo on the home page of the TCO.
Why is there a comment saying “Well done Zac”?
I love that we’re so closely associated Juju. :]
Wow, what’s with the hating!
“There was a time when juniors straight out of uni had to earn their stripes before they could claim this shameless level of self promotion.”
Have you read Julian’s blog? Plenty of stripes earned and presented as useful case studies, years of regular weekly value delivered, and more importantly, solid social media execution across multiple campaigns in the last year. What sort of experience were you looking for?!
For those who think the video is self-indulgent, you are absolutely right – it is wonderfully so and, in my humble opinion, very funny for it.
Too funny.
Congrats Julian, all the best for the new year! x
Hi Scott,
I must admit that I thought “oh no” was making an ironic comment on old skool agency think. But now I’m worrying slightly that they meant it… “Oh no”: care to elucidate?
Cheers,

I’d imagine ‘oh no’ is just bitter and stuck in a jealous time-warp.
Get with the times! Embrace skill & passion wherever it flourishes and nurture it accordingly. Are you working for you, or your client? Or for innovation? New? Better? Advancement? Change? The greater good?
Back to the drawing board for ‘oh no’….
I’m not across Julian Cole’s work besides his blog. What campaigns has he produced? Has he done any good work or just commented on it as the work coming out of Population to date has been average.
Hi ?,
Thanks for the question. If you are familiar with Julian’s blog then you really should knowe all about his work too. The blog is replete with case studies. One of its distinguishing features is that he shares both his successes and his failures/ learnings.
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
Jules is one of the rare ones who does stuff rather than just talks about other people’s stuff. He’s smart – he’s a good hire I think.
