About Kathleen Quinn

A self-styled “Brand Mechanic”, Kathleen thrives on understanding all the moving parts of a brand, from everyday agency processes to cutting-edge consumer trends, and using that knowledge to devise and execute scalable solutions for client business needs. Aside from ensuring seamless and energetic day-to-day communication, Kathleen is constantly asking questions and analyzing opportunities to propel brands forward in thoughtful and authentic ways. Prior to joining Pollinate in 2018, Kathleen spent 5 years working at Young & Rubicam and R/West in San Francisco, where she brought her strategic point-of-view to both local and international clients, including Chevron, Texaco, ExtraMile, FLIR Systems and Trumer Pils Brewing. When not at the office, you can find Kathleen playing Dungeons & Dragons, painting custom watercolor pet portraits, or adventuring around forests and food carts with the world\'s sweetest (and laziest) dog, Butterbean.
