Translate Complexity Into Movement
If you have a product the market doesn't have a category for yet, or expertise that's getting lost in translation between you and the buyers who need it, that's where I work.
I help mission-driven founders and partners turn complex products, whether AI tools, fintech platforms, or clinical expertise, into brands and campaigns the right people can buy, fund, and defend.
Past clients span Fortune 500 corporate buyers, Fast Company–awarded campaigns, and clinician-founders building globally distributed practices.
Nice to meet you.
Justin Brennan has spent 20+ years selling things the market didn't yet have a category for. He has closed Fortune 500 buyers on AI products before AI procurement existed, sold a portable benefits fintech platform to a CPG marketing team that had never funded one, and built corporate pipelines for nonprofits using SaaS go-to-market strategies their founders didn't initially trust.
He has led first-of-its-kind partnerships with Toyota, Unilever, Netflix, Target, American Eagle, Twilio, and Lenovo, and built revenue programs for Crisis Text Line, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, It Gets Better, HeadCount, HBCU Heroes, and Thriving Forward Project.
For Thriving Forward Project, he recently designed and shipped an AI-powered volunteer training simulation, built on Claude and now in production, that replaced a manual onboarding process with a measurable readiness gate.
Justin has held sales and partnerships roles at Participant, Vice Media, Complex Networks, and Fullscreen, and currently runs Purpose & Vision, an independent consultancy advising founders and mission-driven organizations on AI adoption, SaaS implementation, and corporate partnership strategy.
“Justin is a real pro. Organized in both his communication and execution, strategic, and thorough. It's not always easy to bring in an outside consultant. But Justin makes everything easy. He's also motivated by the mission and impact. I always felt like all the bases were covered.”
— ANDY BERNSTEIN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HEADCOUNT
“Justin has a unique heart and understanding for impact and has adapted his sales skills to work authentically with non-profit partners to understand their causes, partners and definitions for success.”
— NICOLE STARR, VP, SOCIAL IMPACT, PARTICIPANT
“When it came to forming partnerships with all stakeholders in and out of the building, I considered Justin a true trailblazer within the company. Whether it was an NGO, a brand, a tech platform or members of the C-suite, he was able to juggle it all effortlessly and with extraordinary results..”
— MICK DIMARIA, VP, CREATIVE DIRECTOR, PARTICIPANT
“Justin was able to find opportunities and build relationships with clients from every industry and organizational type. He thinks beyond brands and agencies and finds strategic connections where others cannot, thanks to his diligent research and insight into every potential partnership..”
— SHABNAM MOGHARABI, COFOUNDER & PAST CEO, SOULPANCAKE
