Claire McGuinness has had many career dreams since her school days in England, including actress, guitarist, conservationist and veterinarian - until she realised that she'd have to put animals to sleep.
Claire describes herself as positive, feisty and friendly. She reckons her sixth sense is her honed judge of character. When she's not body surfing or watching Kung Fu movies with her daughter Kiara, and two cats, Ozzie and Princess Leia, Claire loves to build fires (apparently day or night).
Claire cannot live without the Internet, her favourite sites being Overtone, Bizcommunity and (drum roll please...) Facebook. Her passion and positive attitude are what make her an über-important link in the Quirk chain.
When asked about her future, Claire says "I'm very aware of what I'd like to do and what I would like to learn, and I feel that Quirk and I have a long journey to travel together."
"Peace, love and music"

I attended the WebPR conference in JHB in March. Just a quick note to all of you at Quirk with HUGE congratulations – this was one of the first conferences I have attended where I was riveted for the entire day and took away a lot of new knowledge. What you are doing for the industry is highly commendable and it’s a pity more PR professionals are not harnessing the power of the web. I’m a web freak and as such we had already started implementing more online driven exposure with a number of clients but the tools I took away from the discussions will allow us to push this medium a great deal more.
Thanks again and keep up the good work! - Melissa A, Black Khaki
