Hello, my name is Julian, and I’m the Founder and CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) of Huel.

I know some small businesses out there will have been negatively affected by the changes COVID-19 has brought. So I thought if my experience (over 20 years marketing experience, and successful startups under my belt) can provide guidance to those who might need extra support during these difficult times, then I would like to help.

So I’ve decided to run a complimentary mentorship program for small businesses who are struggling with the impact of COVID-19.

How does it work?

Fill in the form below and I’ll choose businesses where I feel I can add the most value.

Then we will organise sessions where you can ask any questions you like and I will share experiences and advice, or you can simply bounce ideas around to try and help navigate your business through these difficult times.

The first session will be a 30-minute call, and then we’ll have a follow-up call a few weeks later to check-in and see how you’re doing.

Who can apply?

Anyone who thinks they can benefit from this can apply! I just ask that you meet the following criteria to be eligible for the mentorship so I can give valuable advice.

• You are a direct-to-consumer eCommerce brand
• You have 10 or more members of staff
