The Quinntessential Team:

Paul Quinn Managing Director Paul Quinn is Managing Director of Quinntessential Marketing, the company that created PeoplePulse and Live Salary.

Specifically, Paul has over 8 years experience designing and project managing staff and customer research projects of all sizes. Paul’s frustration with the high cost and inefficiencies of traditional paper-based research methodologies and his passion for anything ‘online‘ was the catalyst that led to the creation of the PeoplePulse online survey tool in 2003.
