Flatley Joins Connoisseur LI As DOS
• Connoisseur Media has appointed Chris Flatley as Director of Sales for its Long Island operations, leading revenue strategy and sales operations for Hot AC WALK 97.5, AC WKJY (KJOY 98.3), Mainstream Rock WWSK (94.3 The Shark), Country WWWF (103.1 The Wolf), Oldies WHLI 1100/104.7, Connrex Digital, and the company’s growing portfolio of live events, sponsorships and integrated marketing solutions.
Long Island native Flatley most recently served as VP of Ad Sales for C15 Studio. Prior to that, he led the advertising business at fuboTV.
“Chris understands that this business is still about relationships, accountability and results,” said Kristin Okesson, SVP/Regional Manager for Connoisseur Media. “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.”
Flatley succeeds former Director of Sales, Darren DiPrima, now serving as Station Manager, who remarked, “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.”
“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,” said Flatley. “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.”
