Overview: What Quinn Does
Quinn helps clients reach affluent audiences through storytelling, earned media, brand and media partnerships, influencer marketing, and thought leadership. The firm has built its reputation over more than 35 years on luxury-focused communications work — particularly across travel and hospitality, private aviation, yachting, real estate, food, wine, and spirits. Florence Quinn launched the agency in 1989 in New York City after a career at Chiat Day Advertising, where she rose to Vice President for travel, food, and real estate.
Why It Matters
Quinn's September 2025 acquisition by Interluxe Group and North & Warren matters because of what it reveals about how luxury brands now buy marketing services. The combined platform — backed by Mountaingate Capital — assembles strategic communications, experiential, digital marketing, and proprietary luxury audience data under one roof. Luxury brands like Rolex, Cartier, Four Seasons, and Maserati increasingly want these services integrated rather than purchased separately from boutique specialist firms. The acquisition places Quinn — a 35-year-old luxury communications specialist — inside that integrated structure while Florence Quinn continues as Founder and President of the Quinn brand.
The Interluxe / North & Warren Acquisition
The September 2025 acquisition of Quinn is a notable strategic transaction in the luxury marketing services category. In January 2025, Interluxe Group (a luxury-focused experiential agency founded by Emma Gwyther) and North & Warren (a digital marketing and media firm for luxury brands, co-founded by Nick Van Sicklen and Matt Carroll) formed a strategic partnership with equity investment from Mountaingate Capital. Eight months later, in September 2025, the combined platform acquired Quinn — bringing strategic communications into a platform already covering experiential, digital, lifestyle media, and proprietary luxury audience data.
The resulting organization spans 150+ team members across North America and Europe. Florence Quinn continues as Founder and President of Quinn; Nick Van Sicklen and Matt Carroll continue as Co-CEOs of North & Warren; Emma Gwyther continues as Founder/CEO of Interluxe Group. The combined platform's roster includes Rolex, Prada, Rolls-Royce, Cartier, Four Seasons, Dior, Maserati, American Express, and the existing Quinn client base. Mountaingate Capital — the Denver-based private equity firm backing the platform — also acquired Walker Sands in October 2025, extending its marketing services portfolio.
