Who is Julz?
A little bit about me.
My journey in the motoring world began as a motoring journalist way before Instagram and TikTok were an actual thing. Since then, I have moulded myself in more ways than I can describe and have now morphed into an automotive content creator.
I cut my teeth at CAR magazine, where I honed my skills and developed a deep passion for all things automotive. After an incredible seven-year stint with CAR, I received the ultimate ego boost when I was head-hunted by Associated Media to take the helm at Women on Wheels (WOW) website.
I climbed the ladder to become the Editor of WOW magazine, a position I proudly held for four years. During this time, I also embraced the world of video as a presenter on Tech Report, Ignition GT (channel 189 on DSTV), and cars.co.za. I’m still a proud member of the Ignition GT team, and I also serve as a judge in the cars.co.za #CarsAwards.
Speaking of accolades, I’ve been nominated twice for DSTV’s Content Creator Awards, and I’m chuffed as chips to say that I was announced the winner for 2023 in the Automotive Award category! Definitely a highlight in my career so far.
I have written for some of South Africa’s leading publications, including Women’s Health, Men’s Health, Modern Luxe, CAR magazine, and many others. I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with brands like Hippo.co.za, GetWorth, Mazda, Haval, Alfa Romeo, Nissan, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Shell, Philips Automotive Lighting, Champion Lubricants, Dial Direct, Pampers, Supa Quick, Avo, iWyze, Karcher, Engen, TOTAL, and more in exciting social media campaigns.
But let’s talk about my true passion project – my YouTube channel. With over almost 100 000 subscribers, over 500 videos and a staggering 10 million views, it’s where I truly light up. My mission is simple: to provide honest car-buying advice in my unique style. These are no-paid reviews, untainted by manufacturer influence, so you can trust that what you see is what you get.
So, whether you’re a gearhead, a car enthusiast, or someone simply looking for trustworthy insights… well HI THERE, it’s good to have you here. Join me on this thrilling ride through the world of motoring, where I’ll keep sharing my knowledge, passion, and highly unfiltered opinions.
