Fi Quinn - The Content Strategist

As a UX content strategy (design) and marketing expert, Fi (short for Fiona) created content strategy for large-scale content projects such as Google hotels, while working at Google, and Swan Hellenic, and is a stickler for consistency and style, customer personas and user journeys.

As a writer and editor, she also created content across numerous online projects, including Google Travel, as well as for Google Cloud B2B event marketing, writing comms, website and app content.

She has written for The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Sun among others, as well as copywriting for Google, Tripsmiths, Swan Hellenic and more. She also worked as a travel guidebook editor and writer for Frommer’s, Thomas Cook and Popout Maps creating more than 100 guides from Bristol to Ibiza, Dubai to San Francisco.

Her passion for travel has taken her across the world from being a student in Paris (she chats in French too) to working as a ski rep in France and Switzerland, then as an overseas rep / tour escort for Kuoni in Egypt, Maldives, Mexico, China and Hong Kong, hanging out in the Google offices in New York and California, and more recently for Solos Holidays working as a tour escort in Austria, Greece and Turkey.

Fi is a people person, so she loves to chat and collaborate with great minds. She also takes an interest in positive psychology and how that plays out in marketing. She brings her expertise in project management, team and personal development, content strategy, planning and executing large-scale projects to The Power of Six.
