Fractional marketing & brand direction

Helping people build what comes next.

The hardest part of growth isn’t knowing you need to change.

It’s knowing what to change, having the right talent to make it happen and a clear direction to move forward.

I work with brands, businesses and people at the point of possibility, when something needs to evolve, but the answer isn’t always obvious.

With 13+ years leading marketing, brand and content teams across startups, scale-ups and global organisations, I bring strategy, creativity and leadership together to help clients discover what’s next, create it with confidence and make it happen. Whether it’s building marketing teams, shaping brands and campaigns or developing talent and turning ambition into action.

Testimonials
Working with Emily has been a real privilege. Her ability to capture an audience with her presentation style and the way in which she commands a room is exceptional. She has a natural ability to spot talent and nurtures it wholeheartedly — I’d highly recommend Emily for leadership coaching and mentoring.
Nicola Catlin
Marketing Director · LSEG
Emily has played a huge part in helping me become the leader I am today. She has an incredible ability to build confidence and empower you to trust your own judgement, while always making you feel heard. Every conversation leaves me with greater clarity, confidence and a renewed sense of purpose.
Rachel Greaves
Associate Director · Brainomix
Emily was an incredible mentor and manager who completely elevated my career and championed me in a way I had never experienced professionally before. Since being mentored by Emily, I have secured two promotions, navigated significant corporate structural changes, and pursued opportunities that both challenge and deeply fulfil me. She is the kind of person who makes you believe you can do more.
Eliza Barry
Senior Marketing Manager · LSEG
Emily coached me on my public speaking, how to show up better in the room, and even went through a big pitch presentation with me beforehand. She’s given me incredibly thoughtful, practical advice about my career and the messy politics that often go with it — and helped me negotiate higher salaries and have tricky conversations I used to try to avoid.

Work With Me

Not every challenge needs a six-month strategy. And not every opportunity can be solved in six weeks.

Sometimes you need an experienced pair of hands to step in, make sense of the challenge and bring clarity, focus and momentum. Sometimes you need someone alongside you for longer, to define the direction, build the team and help meaningful change take hold.

Whether you’re shaping what comes next, refining what already exists, or ready to create something new, let’s talk.

About

Emily Quinn-Redding

Founder · Fractional Marketing & Brand Director

I’m a leadership coach and senior brand and marketing leader with 13 years’ experience helping individuals, teams and businesses navigate growth, change and ambitious new chapters.

My experience spans finance, fintech, fashion, art, consulting, telecoms and luxury retail, across businesses at very different stages of growth and change. I’ve built teams from scratch, inherited established ones and worked across disciplines to bring clarity, momentum and stronger ways of working. Alongside leadership and team development, my work has centred on brand, content and creative direction, shaping how businesses show up, communicate and connect with their audiences.

I’m often the person brought in when something needs fresh perspective, clear direction or simply a safe pair of hands. I’m comfortable stepping into complexity, getting under the skin of a challenge quickly and working out what needs to happen next, whether that means shaping a strategy, building a team, leading a creative function or helping a business move from ideas into action.

Today, I bring that experience to my coaching work, supporting existing and aspiring leaders to strengthen their confidence, communicate with greater clarity and become more effective without losing what makes them human.
