Fiona Quinn

Fiona Quinn has over 15 years of experience in marketing, specializing in brand strategy, social media, paid advertising, and public relations. She applies this background to assist independent brands, specifically in the food and drink, tourism and hospitality, and outdoor, adventure and gardening sectors. Her approach focuses on delivering clear roadmaps and ongoing strategy, aiming to improve visibility and sales for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) without the overhead of a full-time hire. Quinn’s consulting work demonstrates a practical application of marketing principles based on her extensive professional history.

Beyond her marketing career, Quinn is an accomplished adventurer and author. She achieved recognition for paddleboarding the entire length of Great Britain, an endeavor documented in her book, ‘Ignore the Fear’. This book, which sold over 6,500 copies in its first 18 months, details her journey and personal challenges, including overcoming a fear of open water. She was also the first woman to cross the Irish Sea by SUP and to complete a triathlon from ‘End to End’ by paddleboard. These achievements highlight her commitment to personal growth and physical endurance.

Quinn continues to engage in adventurous pursuits, including a ‘couch to ultramarathon’ challenge involving running 260 miles along the Pennine Way. She also founded Adventure Book Club, a subscription service designed to inspire others through adventure-related content. Her multiple roles as a consultant, author, and adventurer demonstrate a diverse skill set encompassing strategic planning, content creation, and physical and mental resilience.
