Kohler’s experience in building world-class brands spans both the agency and client side, including three years as Director of International Marketing for Subway World Headquarters, the world’s largest QSR franchise with over 40,000 restaurants in 113 countries.

“Quigley’s culture of ‘Brand Led, Demand Driven’ deeply resonates with me,” said Kohler. “We are in the business of solving clients’ problems through ideas and executions and we must earn attention, respect and business from our clients and their customers. In today’s world of infinite content, this means being champions of creativity at every touchpoint, client interaction and piece of work that we put out into the world. Quigley’s decade-plus client engagements with global advertisers are a testament to the strength of their ability to solve challenging business problems and drive real world performance and business value. I’m excited to join the executive team and help lead the agency to its next chapter of success.”
