Rikki Quintana

After retiring from the practice of law, Rikki Quintana spent most of the last decade building her fair trade business, HoonArts Fair Trade, working directly with Silk Road artisans in Central Asia and learning to tell their stories online and offline in a way that connects deeply with her audience and aligns with her core values. Rikki worked tirelessly “in the trenches,” learning the marketing game through trial and error, as well as drawing on extensive professional training in marketing and storytelling with recognized national and international experts.

She experienced first-hand the frustration and overwhelm of the constantly changing online “influencer industrial complex,” of spending lots of time and money doing what the experts told her she should be doing and getting no results! Tired of seeing mission-driven entrepreneurs and nonprofits who are out to make a difference in the world waste their limited time, money and energy on marketing approaches that simply don’t work for them, Rikki developed her unique “K.I.S.S. Theater Framework” for client-driven impact storytelling to help these leaders get real results with their marketing.

Rikki has developed an online course, “Impact Storytelling Simplified: Real Marketing Results without the Overwhelm," offers regular webinars, speaks in person and online on the techniques of impact storytelling, including in international training programs. Rikki also provides direct consulting and “done for you” services to businesses and nonprofits.
