Julie Scelzo

Julie Scelzo is a creative leader who believes great work comes from deeply understanding people. Most recently Chief Creative Officer of Dentsu Creative USA, she joined Dentsu in 2018 as Global Executive Creative Director on American Express. Her career began at Leo Burnett Chicago before she moved to FCB San Francisco, where she led global creative for Levi’s and helped launch the iconic Live in Levi’s platform.

After nearly 20 years in agencies, Julie moved to Meta to work on social and digital creativity for Facebook and Instagram, then became Pandora Music’s first in-house Executive Creative Director, building a 100-plus person creative team that won honors at Cannes Lions, Clios, and One Show.

She’s been named to Adweek’s Creative 100, Business Insider’s 33 Most Creative Women, and Campaign US’s 2024 Inspiring Women list – though for Julie, it’s always been about the people and the culture-moving work great teams create together.
