Kohl is an Executive Creative Director at Leo Toronto trying to make stuff people talk about and help his teams do work they care about. He currently answers for all things creative coming from Bell, Pizza Hut, Kellogg’s, Starbucks, Royale, Clover Leaf, Enbridge and the Smucker’s portfolio which includes brands like Jif, Meow Mix, Milk Bone, plus a bunch of others.
He lives outside the city with his wife, two kids, three cats and three dogs. Which is a bit crazy, but he likes it that way.
