S1, Ep2: Culture helps us make better decisions together, with Julio Taylor of Hallam

Welcome to the People Focus Podcast, with Gary Parsons from Talk Staff. Join us as we celebrate the most important asset that we all have – our people – the people that help keep our businesses running each and every day, the people that motivate us when times are hard, help us make decisions that don’t always feel like they’re the right ones and challenge us when we need to stay on track to achieve the overall company mission – the purpose behind why we do what we do. On this episode, Gary chats with Julio Taylor.  Julio is Hallam’s CEO, providing strategic leadership across Hallam to develop excellence in full service digital marketing delivery. Formerly Creative Director, Julio has specialist knowledge of User Experience (UX), design, and strategy. He started designing and building websites in the late 90s, hacking together Geocities websites, frames, and table layouts. After studying Computer Science, he worked as a software developer in the oil industry and public sector, before coming back to digital and web in 2009.
 Along with Jon Martin, he founded BigSpring, which grew into a highly regarded web agency with a reputation for delivering quality digital experiences. Following several years of collaborative work, BigSpring merged with Hallam in 2017.
 During the mighty ’00s, Julio also played guitar and vocals for Illuminatus, Nottingham’s alternative rock anti-heroes.
