Frank Quinn is principal of Quinntessential. A Dubliner, his career spans 35 years in the publishing, exhibition and conference sectors. He is an experienced business manager, media publisher and event organiser.

Quinntessential works with clients to improve their marketing communication. Whether this means a website review/revision or a clean-sheet approach to a marketing project, Frank's experience underpins a three-sided approach: writing, designing and production.

“In online assignments, designers usually draw on separate technical input — and vice versa — to create effective online communication,” he says. “Often, this leaves the written word as the poor relation, coming from elsewhere."

"When you can blend good copywriting and editing with design and tech inputs seamlessly from one source, the result is a realistic approach to cost and timeline," he adds.

Drawing on his experience of creating and managing a variety of market-leading publications and events, Frank can contribute flexibly to projects which need an extra pair of hands for a defined period.

He invites review of work for recent clients, which illustrates the Quinntessential approach.
