Over 20+ years and three different agencies, Julie and Lizzie keep finding excuses to work together. That’s why, in 2019, we founded Studio Hoopla based on the insight that we do finance-related design and marketing really, really well.
Julie Corbett
Co-founder & General Manager
On her 21st birthday, young Julie was expecting something special from her grandfather. A red sports car? Cash towards a holiday on the beaches of France? Nope, he gave her a used copy of The Golden Rules of Wealth.

In the short term, this was devastating. A travesty. Longer term, Julie’s been a keen saver, always with one eye on her super and the other on the market.
Julie’s always looking ahead. She’s the kind who loves to peek over the horizon, inspired by thoughts of a better solution, a better team, a better life, or a better world. Her natural enthusiasm means she quickly draws creatives and clients into the project journey. She delights in transforming good communications into something superb and believes that effective outcomes are built on sound strategy. She’s forever learning and has sharpened her skills with a Mini MBA in Marketing.
But, above all, Julie is a master organiser. She loves finding the right combination of talent and resources to carry out a project — ensuring it hits the brief, is on time, on budget and exceeds expectations. All with easy smiles and a flexible ‘can do’ attitude.
Lizzie Deller
Co-founder & Creative Director
Growing up in the shadow of the 1987 crash, Lizzie understood the ripple effects financial insecurity can create from an early age. And conversely, the power a little financial knowledge has to change lives.

Lizzie’s a deep thinker, quietly listening while her head’s already dreaming up the creative solution. She conceptualises and executes quickly with a strong vision.
A common signature of her work is a restrained design aesthetic, always with beautiful balance and composition — no clutter, just an ability to manipulate the eye. She loves solving tricky design problems — the challenge of analysing the symptoms, identifying what is wrong, and then finding the solution. It’s no surprise that she’s so skilled at breathing new life into existing brands. She approaches her work with sharp intellect and logic. Deadline and goal-focused, and almost impossible to distract.
She’s a keen listener and a bowerbird for information. Combined, this means Lizzie is forever improving and refining her creative approach.
We care about your customers as much as you do. We know that financial literacy has the power to change people’s lives. With a little bit of knowledge, folks can gain financial security, make better decisions, live comfortably and even start pursuing their dreams.
Making an impact
For many Australians, a job loss, relationship breakdown, addiction, or mental health issue can quickly lead to financial hardship. The Financial Counselling Foundation provides free, independent advice to people in financial crisis.
