Award-winning animation software leader Toon Boom Animation announced today the newest member of its executive team, Stephanie Quinn, who is joining as Director of Marketing. With over 20 years’ experience across B2B and B2C marketing in industries ranging from high-tech to telecom, fashion to manufacturing, distribution to professional services, her depth of knowledge in effectively targeting markets, motivating teams and laying the groundwork for growth will help propel Toon Boom’s market presence and connect its global-standard storyboarding and animation software to artists everywhere in the booming $259B animation, VFX and gaming industry.
Toon Boom Animation is already recognized as the global leader in the 2D animation software market with its flagship digital solutions Toon Boom Storyboard Pro and Toon Boom Harmony, and has recently expanded with new offices in Japan and China. Supporting and delivering tools that help creatives bring their stories to life is core to the organization and its clients, including major animation studios, independent contractors and students alike. Toon Boom distinguishes itself in the industry by tirelessly focusing on its community, growth through investment in the future and delivering technologies that push the envelope. Its accessibility, alongside the strength of its team and dedication to added value for its clients, is what sets the company apart: Enterprise with a family business mentality.
“The team’s creativity, paired with technological innovation and prowess, made Toon Boom a natural fit for what I wanted for my future career move,” stated Stephanie Quinn, director of marketing at Toon Boom Animation. “I am excited to be part of an executive team that is open minded, creative and willing to take chances. Toon Boom is a company of the future — growing through investment in the community and its people, and achieving success by delivering the digital solutions the market is demanding.”
Stephanie will be heading up marketing strategy and management for all channels, working out of Toon Boom’s headquarters in Montreal, Quebec, Canada — where any and all initiatives developed guide and support international offices and partnerships worldwide.
“We were thrilled when Stephanie chose to join the team; with the industry going through an intense growth period, she brings the perfect mix of experience, client-focused marketing style and energy to help Toon Boom continue its aggressive growth and support us in laying the groundwork of the future,” says Francois Lalonde, VP sales & marketing and co-president at Toon Boom Animation.
