Scott Quill
I started as a magazine reporter, interviewing everyone from scientists to Ryan Reynolds. Journalism taught me how to find the story, no matter how complicated. Today, I build brands from the ground up. Starting from nothing is the most exciting part—and where I do my best work.I've named and shaped the founding stories for Clay, LGND, and The Margin; stood up multiyear communications initiatives for World Wildlife Fund; produced TED talks, podcasts, and personal brand strategies for industry leaders; built Exos’ audience from 0 to 100k+ and co-led a rebrand with IDEO that contributed to an acquisition.The stories I’ve shaped have helped startups earn coverage in TechCrunch and The New York Times, and been recognized by the Webby Awards and Fast Company.I also write Unprompted on Substack.
