Brent Chapman’s Summary

A broad range of experience starting with five years at a major Global law firm (Shearman and Sterling) and then another 10 years at Cablevision Systems Corporation, with roles ranging from legal counsel, to sales (both advertising and affiliate sales) to business development to operations. I have launched three media services for Cablevision and started my own business in 2004. I have significant television production experience and have produced two nationally distributed programs (The Method-MoJo) and Live From the Seminole Hard Rock (PBS). I distribute shows, sell sponsorships and more importantly, provide strategic advice and development services for brands looking to message effectively over numerous platforms. My goal is to continue to build my business and become a trusted advisor and contributor to a growing number of businesses and personalities.
