Our growth continues with the promotion of Chris Finnegan to SVP, Media and the hiring of Brian Gilligan as Director of Performance Media.

Chris has helped establish a media analytics practice that has proved invaluable to our clients. Over the course of his 20+ year career, Chris has developed paid-media strategies that demonstrate accountability, transparency, and most importantly, results.

Brian, based in Chicago, will be responsible for the development and execution of overarching strategy, planning, and implementation and optimization for Cornett’s campaigns across multiple search and social platforms. Brian worked with Cornett on the vendor side for three years and is already familiar with its clients and their paid media campaigns and has played an instrumental role in managing successful performance media campaigns across Google, programmatic, and paid social platforms. 

Moving forward, Brian will help Cornett secure new business as it brings performance media tactics in house and will further solidify its already strong media capabilities for new and existing clients alike.

Previously, Brian was Activations Manager at marketing and media company opTi and senior Account Manager at SRAZ.
