Connect Media has added six professionals to its Connect Creative team

Connect Media Grows National Team with O’Keefe, Pietrini and Reimold

Confirming its status as one of the country’s fastest-growing media companies, Connect Media has made hires on both coasts and in the central U.S. Donald O’Keefe has joined the company as business development director, based in New York, while Katy Pietrini has come aboard as conference manager, based in Chicago. The newest member of the team is Robin Reimold, who joins Connect Media as a conference producer in Los Angeles.

All three new team members bring a wealth of experience, as well as extensive industry relationships to their roles. O’Keefe was previously with ALM’s GlobeSt.com brand for 12 years, most recently as director of integrated media. He’s widely known and highly regarded across the CRE industry.

Pietrini spent four years as VP, marketing communications for Cushman & Wakefield’s Global Occupier Services business. Previously, she served in a variety of marketing-related positions with JLL and LaSalle Investment Management, including two years as LaSalle’s marketing manager, Americas.

Most recently a conference producer with GreenPearl, Reimold also spent four years with France Media as a media advisor. Prior to that, she was marketing and sales brand director for Chicago Title.

“Heading into 2020, it’s an exciting time of growth across the Connect Media platform,” said Daniel Ceniceros, founder and president of Connect Media. “Adding Donald, Katy and Robin to our team will take our growth trajectory another level higher.”
