Top African-American Public Relations Agents

Gwendolyn Quinn

Being a part of the music and entertainment industries has been beneficial to Quinn’s long-standing career as a publicist and public relations executive. With tenures at Capitol Records, Arista, Island and Flavor Unit Entertainment, just to name a few, Quinn has directed press campaigns on behalf of the who’s who in popular music, including Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Queen Latifah, Diddy, Prince, the Isley Brothers, and countless others.

In 2002, Quinn founded GQ Media & Public Relations, Inc., a full-service publicity and marketing firm that specialize in strategic development and coordinating special events for clients that span the worlds of music, theatre, corporate, not-for-profit, faith-based, and the visual/fine arts. In addition to her work with GQ Media & Public Relations, Quinn, along with fellow media specialist Marlynn Snyder, founded the African-American Public Relations Collective (AAPRC). The purpose of the AAPRC is to fill the gap in the networking potential among African-American public relations and media specialists.
