Although Josh Baran is often engaged primarily as a senior consultant, he has a team of veteran communication associates that he calls on as needed. They serve as strategists, advisers, but also in such capacities as media professionals, trainers, branding experts, and social media mavens, and video producers.



Scott Tillitt / Antidote Collective

Some years ago, catalyzed by 9/11 and an ongoing process of spiritual and social awakening, he broke the trance of an increasingly cynical consumer culture and started applying his corporate-honed skills to social impact. Since 2003 he's worked on a number of PR and communications projects with Josh Baran.
