Every great idea started with a better question.

Russell Quinan specializes in building brands that cut through noise and create lasting connections. He blends deep market insight, competitive strategy, and storytelling that resonates on a human level—helping companies define who they are, why they matter, and how to win.

Always ahead of the curve, Russell was a founding partner of one of the West Coast’s top interactive agencies back when “digital” was still a buzzword. Since then, he’s led game-changing work at agencies like Publicis, Foote, Cone & Belding and McCann Worldwide, shaping campaigns for Microsoft, HP, Sony, Levis, Adobe, Xbox, L’Oréal, Wells Fargo, Alibaba, and more.

A board member of the American Advertising Federation, Russell lives in Marin County with his family. When he’s not crafting strategies, you’ll find him playing in a band, expanding his guitar collection or charging down Marin’s mountain bike trails late at night.
