We're so excited to welcome Jeff Graham as our new President

Sukle is excited to announce that Jeff Graham has joined the agency as President. As President, Graham will be responsible for leading Sukle into its next phase of growth and creative impact by driving strategic, operational, and cultural excellence across the agency.

Graham comes to Sukle with over 3 decades of experience in senior agency and departmental leadership roles, most recently serving as President of Denver-based Cactus. Jeff’s career spans some of the country’s most creatively-driven agencies including BarkleyOKRP, CP+B, Arnold, Core and TBWA\Chiat\Day.

He’s also worked on some of the world's most iconic brands – including Microsoft, Volkswagen, Jack Daniel’s, Best Buy, the NFL, Gibson Guitar, Bass Pro Shops, and Old Navy (serving as interim CMO).

A driving force for Graham’s career has been an unshakeable belief that creativity in all its forms is the most disruptive weapon at a marketer's disposal - a force multiplier for business and brand growth. He holds a BJ from the Missouri School of Journalism and an MBA from St. Louis University’s Chaifetz School of Business.

He's a classic car enthusiast, 10-year cancer survivor, proud dad to 4 girls, member of the 4As Western Region board of directors, board member for One Club for Creativity’s Denver chapter, and a past-president of Ad Club Colorado.

“Jeff’s exceptional leadership, deep expertise in advertising, and values-driven approach to building brands are exactly what Sukle needs as we enter our next chapter. We believe he is uniquely positioned to help us scale both creatively and operationally, while staying true to our purpose of being a force for positive change in the world,” said Mike Sukle, Sukle’s founder and chief creative officer.

“I’m a huge believer in the outsized impact that small indie agencies, and their work, can have in the world,” said Graham. “And Sukle is a perfect example of how small agencies can pack a powerful punch. Creating decades of award-winning campaigns that are actually a force for good. I’ve been a big fan of Mike and his agency’s work for over 20 years now, so to have a chance to team up with him and Mel (Simonich), to help take Sukle to the next level as an agency - it’s just a dream opportunity, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.”
