Julian Fraiquin is the founder of Elevate Media, a creative consultancy helping entrepreneurs and personal brands grow online. Through powerful sales funnels, high-end branding, and results-driven experiences, Julian has built a name for himself as a go-to partner for digital growth. But his journey didn’t start in a flashy office or at a big-name agency – it started in a quiet town in the Netherlands, fueled by curiosity, determination, and a drive to do things differently.
Growing up in Workum, a small town in The Netherlands surrounded by nature, Julian was raised in a supportive family that gave him the space to explore. That freedom sparked an early interest in business. At just nine years old, he launched his first “company” – selling painted wooden sticks to classmates in exchange for seashells. It might have been a humble start, but it taught him an important lesson: if you create something people value, they’ll be willing to trade for it.
As he got older, Julian realized he was more drawn to hands-on skills than classroom theory. While most of his classmates focused on grades, he spent hours teaching himself video editing, graphic design, music production, and web development through YouTube and online tutorials. That self-taught approach became the foundation of everything he’d build later.
Julian started out freelancing, editing videos and designing graphics for clients. He explored music production too, selling instrumentals on BeatStars. Already generating income from his self-taught digital skills, he knew it was time to double down and scale what was working.
After just two months in university, he realized the traditional path wouldn’t help him grow the way he wanted or support his vision of turning his skills into something that could create real value in the world.
So, he made a bold move: he left and committed fully to entrepreneurship.
In 2019, Julian launched Elevate Media. What began as a simple web design service quickly evolved. He noticed that many personal brands and digital entrepreneurs had big followings but struggled to convert that attention into actual revenue. Their brands didn’t look good and they lacked strategy. Their websites had traffic, but no sales. Julian knew he could fix that.
By combining design, copywriting, automation, and funnel strategy, he started building systems that didn’t just look good – they performed. His work started getting noticed, and soon Elevate Media was serving high-level clients across eCommerce, education, trading, and content creation.
One of his recent partnerships was with Robert Olivera, founder of The Genius Brand — a business that scaled to $30M after Robert sold his Amazon brand to private equity. More clients followed: Samuel Onuha of ICON Amsterdam, trading educator Mamba Alvarenga, barbering platform founder Alexi Michael of LearnToCut, and car detailing entrepreneur Alan Tursunbaev of The Detail Cartel.
In every case, Julian focused on the same core goal: Helping entrepreneurs build real brands and turn their online presence into a revenue engine.
“I’ve always loved the process of starting from scratch and building something valuable,” Julian shares. “Learning new skills, testing ideas, refining the process — that’s where the magic happens. I want to help others tap into that too, whether they’re just getting started or ready to scale.”
Elevate Media isn’t your average agency. It’s built around systems, not just services. Julian doesn’t just deliver a pretty website or a slick logo. He creates full digital ecosystems designed to convert. That mix of creativity and strategy is what sets him apart.
“You don’t just need a good-looking site,” he says. “You need a system that sells.”
Today, Elevate Media is especially known for helping creators, coaches, and educators grow their influence and income online. Julian’s approach is grounded in real-world application – practical steps clients can actually implement. He’s proof that you don’t need a fancy degree or traditional job to succeed, just a willingness to learn, take risks, and stay curious.
Julian’s story, from self-taught creator in a small Dutch town to trusted advisor for 7- and 8-figure brands is a reminder that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
“Risk isn’t real,” he says. “Fear is just a thought. And thoughts can be changed.”
Through his efforts, Julian empowers individuals to go all in and build valuable, impactful businesses. His mission is to inspire those who want to do things differently to take bold action and create meaningful change in the world.
