GnosisFive to GnFive (Gn5)

Gnosis Five is the consultancy practice of Julian Race, focused on helping brands cut through noise, scale strategically, and tell more meaningful stories.

Built on insight. Driven by intent.

Knowledge originates from the Greek word "gnosis," which signifies knowing through observation or experience.

Symbolically, the number five represents change. We feel this is an apt description of the digital world we work in because it is in a constant state of change (evolution).

As professional marketers, we are challenged to understand, adapt, and sometimes lead our organizations through these shifts.

How I work

Strategy first, always

Every engagement starts with clarity. I dig deep to understand goals, gaps, and growth potential before any execution begins.

Respect for budgets, stakeholders, and creative integrity

I align with your internal realities while maintaining the quality and cohesion of the work.

A direct, honest partner

I give real answers, not spin. My role is to simplify decisions, challenge assumptions when needed, and move with you, not around you.

  • Julian is a creative and strategic thinker, and a great problem solver. He has a knack for cutting through the noise to arrive at the real issue, then knows how to successfully resolve the issue. He manages himself with little supervision and delivers results on every project, every time. He is dependable, honest, hard-working and a great team player. He is able to think outside of his specific scope, which makes him an invaluable sounding board across levels and functions.
