Stoke Partner Erin Quick Awarded 40-Under-40 by the Journal

Seattle, WA – Stoke Strategy, Inc. is proud to announce that partner Erin X. Quick has been recognized by the Puget Sound Business Journal as one of the "40 Under 40" for 2011, and one of Washington's "most influential young business owners, decision makers and executives with entrepreneurial spirit."

Now in its 13th year, the annual "40 Under 40" award recognizes 40 individuals under the age of 40 who have demonstrated dynamic leadership in the community. Quick was selected by an independent panel of judges from over 500 nominees based on her accomplishments in business, and contributions to the community and her profession.

Quick is a founder of Stoke, a brand design firm based in Ballard's renovated Kolstrand Building, where she leads the firm's design teams and oversees client relations. The firm was founded in 2007 and has grown to serve global enterprise clients including GE Healthcare, Colliers International, T-Mobile, and LG Electronics – with a rapidly growing portfolio of premium apparel and hospitality brands.

"I'm honored and humbled to be counted among this year's recipients," said Quick. "I've had the great fortune to work with wonderful clients, amazing talents and unique opportunities since starting Stoke. It's nice to have their success be reflected in this way."

The award marks the second time the firm's partners have been recognized by the Journal, as partner David Miller was recognized with the "40 Under 40" award in 2004. "I couldn't be more happy for Erin," said Miller. "She's an exceptional talent, a constant source of optimism and possibilities – with an unyielding sense of responsibility to our clients and the community."
