about.
Oh, hello there. Fancy seeing you here.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm Justin Barisich. I write things.
Silly, little things — like bits of lyrics to love songs that I "sing" to my wife. (And sometimes our dog).
Big, important things — like video scripts for CEOs to record and send out to tens of thousands of employees.
Direct, strategic things — like concepts and ads for year-long campaigns that actually solve clients' business problems.
Beautiful, poetic things — like short stories and speeches and spoken word pieces, sometimes even performing them on stages across the country.
And I've written these things, for over a dozen
years now, all to help others create
Good Stories, Well Told.

"If all Justin brought to work each day was his amiability, we'd love to have him padding around inside our walls. But the fact he shows up with relentless effort, presentational grace, a never-say-quit work ethic, a commitment to getting things done RIGHT, & a craftsman's application of smart & efficient copy? Well, that's just luxury beyond belief. Thanks to one of the agency's most genuine good guys & ace writer who I'm so glad is your teammate. I love listening to him walk clients through his impressive work."

MELANIE SINGLETON
"If you liken content to marksmanship, then Justin's writing is sniper level. He's one of those unique talents that you benchmark other writers by—& rarely do others compare.
While it is easy to boast on his skills as a writer & marketer, where he shines most is rather intangible—reliability. Justin can be relied upon to deliver unique, & often profound, content writing and strategy.
Undeniably, there's power in words. But the inextricable link in understanding that power & wielding it well is what makes his work beyond compare. I consider working with Justin a notable highlight of my career."
