ABOUT | Forrest Quinn // CW

I'm a former D1 offensive tackle turned advertising creative—a transformation that has stumped my parents and doctors for years.

But since hanging up my cleats and joining the ad game, I've put Billy Idol and Rory McIlroy on a golf course together, helped the Count from Sesame Street share financial advice, invented unnecessary yogurt eating inventions, written for Dr Pepper's Fansville, got really, really scrappy for a bunch of other brands, and won some shiny things.

I take pride in building brands beyond "basic briefs" by being proactive to find moments, placements, or opportunities to insert brands in interesting, unexpected ways that feel authentic and impactful. Things that take an idea from just a TV spot or a social post to a full-fledged campaign that becomes a memorable part of the brand.

It's that kind of thinking that got me into this business in the first place.

That and I probably wasn't going to get drafted.
