Founder story
Founded in 2016 by Tom Logan and Erik Graber in New York City. Having worked together at Piqora, they saw that the biggest bottleneck for brands was the constant need for fresh, authentic content for ads and product pages. They built Cohley to be the 'content engine' for the modern, data-driven marketer.
