Connoisseur Media has appointed Chris Flatley as Director of Sales for its Long Island NY stations

Flatley joins Connoisseur from C15 Studio where he was Vice President of Ad Sales. He also has led advertising sales for fuboTV. He commented, “Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work with innovative companies and talented teams, but the opportunity to lead a Long Island organization with such deep community ties was one I couldn’t pass up. I’m looking forward to building on the strong foundation already in place and working with our team to create new opportunities for our clients and community.”

Connoisseur SVP/Regional Manager Kristin Okesson said, “Chris understands that this business is still about relationships, accountability and results. Long Island is a unique market, and our clients and the Connoisseur Long Island team deserve a partner who knows the community, shows up every day and is willing to fight for their success. This is a very experienced team, and it was important to find someone who understands this market, values our relationships and is ready to roll up their sleeves from day one. We are not looking to be just another media company. Our goal is to be the most productive and reliable business partner our clients have, and Chris is ready to help us deliver on that promise.”

Former Director of Sales Darren DiPrima now serves as Station Manager. He commented, “Chris brings the right combination of leadership, sales expertise and digital knowledge to help take our team to the next level. Just as important, he understands Long Island and appreciates the relationships that have made this company successful. Our clients count on us to be true marketing partners, and Chris shares that philosophy. I am excited to partner with him as we continue building on our momentum and helping local businesses grow.”
