More about your PR Darling: Greer Quinn

As the Managing Director of Forward Communications since 2002, Greer has worked with founders and Fortune 500s across a wide range of industries.

Highlights include executing a four-year national public relations program that led to a $1 billion trade sale of the Dairy Farmers business to National Foods, spearheading the “return to the original recipe” launch for Carlton and United Breweries’ Victoria Bitter, which after 12 years of decline, saw VB reclaim number-one status, plus winning a national public sector award for a Griffith University regional media campaign.

To put her business acumen to the test, Greer founded a haircare brand in 2015, developing the vegan beauty range from concept to commercialisation and then brokering a successful exit mid-2017.

Before crossing to the “dark side” of PR, Greer worked as a broadcast, print and digital journalist at ABC Radio, ABC Online in Brisbane, 4-CC Radio in Central Queensland and Chinchilla News in the Darling Downs.

Greer has also guest-lectured at both Griffith and Bond universities.
