Paul Galligan’s Summary

Cohber is a Printing and Marketing Communications company specializing in 1:1 techniques to give you higher response rates for direct mail and overall better return on objective.

Since joining Cohber in 2005, my primary responsibility is the evolution of Cohber from a commercial printer to a full service marketing solutions company. I have nearly two decades of experience in direct marketing and print production management, and 23 years experience in information systems, database management, and integrated design. As Vice President and Managing Director, I oversee all aspects of the Digital Marketing Solutions Group (DMSG). The DMSG includes Client Services, Design & Development, Data Processing, Operations, and Information Systems. One of my strengths is identifying new technology that can significantly benefit Cohber's clients to offer a complete, one-stop source for all their marketing and direct mail needs. A few of the new capabilities that I have brought to Cohber are logic based variable document composition, web portal development, variable HTML class emails, eye-popping dynamic image development, and variable personalized URLs that allow clients to have unique web pages with variable content for each recipient (for example - johnsmith.mywebsite.com).

As a team-builder who values loyalty and customer satisfaction, I am also experienced in Total Quality Management, Six Sigma, and P&L ownership and responsibilities.
