The Spotlight on
Christopher Tonn
Director of Marketing Operations
Responsibilities:
Chris manages corporate advertising and marketing projects that support the Brown Harris Stevens brand, as well as our suite of services provided to BHS Agents.
What do you enjoy most about working at Brown Harris Stevens within the Marketing Team?
We listen, we learn, we stay nimble, we adapt. Our group has done whatever is necessary to provide BHS agents with the cutting edge tools and resources to ensure success, while always prioritizing customer service. Working in that sort of environment where we can effectively pivot in the pursuit of excellence is rewarding.
You have been with us for over a decade and are heavily involved in the Brown Harris Stevens brand. What separates this brand from others in the marketplace, in your opinion?
I enjoy working with and being surrounded by the best—the best marketing team, sales execs, and agents. We fuel each other to improve and maintain our earned place at the top of the industry.
Favorite project you ever worked on at Brown Harris Stevens?
This is more on the corporate level, but helping the team transition to full remote work, essentially overnight, in March 2020 was a unique organizational challenge that I took on. In operating and working in a brand new fashion—and filling needs that weren’t there yesterday—I took pride in helping.
Share a recommended read or perhaps a podcast that you suggest listening to?
Just finished reading Shoe Dog, the Phil Knight memoir, for the first time. I really enjoy a self-discovery book or film.
Share something few know about you.
I ran competitively in college. My best mile was 4:15. Nowadays, I jog around the neighborhood for fun.
