About + Contact
Hi, I’m Josh Witherspoon.
I lead brand and creative for technology companies shaping new categories.
Today I’m Head of Brand and Creative at Glean, where I help define how enterprise AI shows up in the world. My work focuses on translating complex technology into clear narratives, distinctive brand systems, and campaigns that connect with customers.
Earlier in my career I spent a decade at VSA Partners leading brand and design work for companies including Google, Salesforce, Nike, and IBM. Across agency and in-house roles, I’ve helped organizations launch new products, reposition brands, and build systems that scale across marketing, product, and customer experience.
My approach sits at the intersection of strategy, design, and storytelling — aligning how a company thinks, what it builds, and how it shows up in the world.
Thanks for visiting.
