Josh Burton
Founder & Creative Director
Josh Burton has spent over fifteen years doing what most people can’t — moving between the public and private sectors without losing his edge in either.
His specialty is finding the heartbeat of a story and figuring out the most unexpected way to tell it. Sharp ideation, bold creative, and the kind of follow-through that actually gets things across the finish line. That’s the job, and Josh doesn’t treat it any other way.
A nationally recognized Forty Under 40 African-American leader and University of Cincinnati alum (Go Bearcats), Josh has never let titles define the work. Impact does that on its own. For nearly two decades, his community advocacy through Word of Life has centered on amplifying voices, developing leaders, and making sure the people who need a platform have one.
Off the clock, he’s still chasing rhythm. You might find him behind a trumpet, a microphone, or somewhere off the grid in Cincinnati finding inspiration in equal parts noise and silence.
