Qwest Communications has named Sonic Drive-In vet Vance “Todd” Townsend as its top marketer.

Townsend has assumed the title vp-marketing, and will oversee Qwest’s consumer marketing strategy and operations. Townsend, who joined Qwest earlier this month, was most recently the CMO of Sonic Drive-In. Townsend left Sonic in August to “pursue other interests,” according to that company.

Prior to joining Sonic, Townsend served as Yahoo!’s vp-sales and marketing for its hosting and e-commerce services group. Additionally, he held various executive marketing roles for Sprint and has supervised key accounts for Leo Burnett Worldwide, including Miller Brewing and Pillsbury.
