Leadership with a Different Formula

Broth was built on the belief that there’s a better way to do this work—one steeped in science, fueled by passion, and wired to deliver. Our founders set out to create more than just standout campaigns—they envisioned a space where deep expertise meets creative freedom, where curiosity leads, and where heart is never an afterthought. The result? A culture driven by integrity, imagination, and real impact. Meet the minds behind the mission.

Elizabeth Yi, PhD

Founding Partner and Scientific Strategy Lady

We’ve yet to find an area of science that Liz doesn’t get excited about. She loves to dig in deep and be inspired by the promise of learning something new.

After training as a scientist at UCLA, Liz joined the Global Medical Affairs group at Baxter before diving into the glamorous world of healthcare marketing. Fifteen years later, she built the best-in-class team of medical strategists as an Associate Partner at one of the biggest medical agencies around before starting up Broth.

In her off-time, she manages to keep up with her family, which has more kids, hobbies, and chaos than you can count.

Ted Kossakowski

Founding Partner and Creative Guy (Art)

Despite the obvious challenge of being raised on Staten Island, Ted went from graphic artist to ECD of one of the largest healthcare advertising agencies before starting one of his own.

Ted loves to build brands, change minds, and move markets through great ideas. He has led countless creative teams to produce award-winning work. Ted thrives on turning high science into simple stories, especially in specialty and tech.

When not turning conventional thinking on its head with a creative visual approach, Ted is a big fan of MLB’s renowned Yankees and fantasy baseball’s equally renowned MadKowskis.

Doug Tischler, MA

Founding Partner and Creative Guy (Content)

A man of dubious tastes and diverse passions, Doug is probably the only person who can recite the words to every major opera and Mel Brooks movie.

With graduate degrees in English, French, and classics, Doug found medical writing to be the perfect marriage of his thirst for knowledge, nerdly love of data, and unique brand of creativity. He held leadership positions at several top healthcare agencies before joining his old partners in crime to start Broth. Doug has a penchant for pushing boundaries and an unnatural obsession with fungal diseases.

When not working, Doug can often be found listening to classical music or traveling (and sometimes both).
