Matthew is a Serial Entrepreneur, Marketer and Business Growth Developer with a wide range of successful pursuits under his belt for numerous brands and businesses alike. From starting as a music & video producer at DTP/Def Jam Records at age 18, to Wall Street at Goldman Sachs twice (2010 & 2013), to starting his own digital media agency (Immortal Media) while launching & marketing Ryan Blair's #1 NYT Best Selling book campaign "Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain". After working on shows such as HBO's Boardwalk Empire & Hello Ladies, Matt has since scaled Immortal Media & KERN at Omnicom Agency to take on enterprise level clients such as DIRECTV, AT&T & American Express. There he has launched and managed projects such as AT&T & DIRECTV's merger and split along with the rebrand of AT&T TV to DIRECTV Stream across over 11.8 million subscribers globally. Matt has also expanded his portfolio of businesses to the fitness industry (Immortal Fitness), financial education (Immortal Investments) & blockchain based fashion (MANSA®).

- Proven Branding and Marketing Success: My success in helping elevate Ryan Blair's personal brand while launching his debut book campaign shows that I understand how to create and manage effective branding strategies. Taking on the rebrand of AT&T TV to DIRECTV Stream in 2021 proved that I can take on large marketing budgets and timelines for international consumption. My core mission of blending personal development with AI-driven increase in productivity means that your company can significantly benefit from my ability to build and amplify brand presence across diverse channels, particularly by leveraging the company's public persona and leadership influence. I can use my branding expertise to expand the company's community and client base, positioning it as the leader in the market.
- Experience with High-Impact Marketing Campaigns: Most recently, working on DIRECTV's GOATBusters campaign to making Ryan Blair’s "Nothing To Lose, Everything To Gain" book a bestseller demonstrates my range and ability to execute high-impact marketing campaigns that resonate with audiences. This experience is crucial in promoting your company's events, AI related services, and leadership programs. I can replicate these strategies to attract the desired target market to your company's offerings, amplifying its reach through targeted content, digital marketing, and thought leadership.
- Leveraging Personal Networks for Business Development: My background as a serial entrepreneur comes with having a strong network of business leaders, entrepreneurs, and influencers. I can tap into this network to form strategic partnerships and business alliances, opening new revenue streams for your company. Bringing in influential clients and creating collaborations with other high-profile entrepreneurs could boost your company's credibility and customer base.
- Scaling Revenue and Client Acquisition: With a track record of driving success for other ventures, I can apply growth hacking techniques and performance metrics to improve your company's sales funnel and client retention strategies. Using my knowledge of scaling businesses, I can implement systems to accelerate customer acquisition and enhance client loyalty, directly impacting your company's bottom line.
- Leadership and Team Development: My entrepreneurial experience will also support the growth and development of the internal team. By fostering a growth-oriented company culture and empowering employees, I can ensure that your company's mission and values are reflected in every part of the business, driving sustainable growth from within.
- Extensive Marketing and Partnership Experience: My current role as Managing Director and Marketing Director at Immortal Management Group, where I've overseen large-scale marketing efforts and managed partnerships, aligns with the core responsibilities of developing and executing partner marketing campaigns. My experience in building and managing partnerships, including B2B and B2C relations, and scaling a portfolio of $32M, reflects my ability to handle high-stakes, strategic marketing initiatives.
- Experience in Media and Streaming Services: At Omnicom Group, I've led projects involving major clients such as DIRECTV and AT&T. These companies are closely tied to entertainment and media, which likely involved managing campaigns that promoted subscription services or entertainment content, directly relevant to the streaming focus of this role. My work at HBO also demonstrates hands-on experience within the entertainment industry, another key asset.
- Campaign Strategy and Execution: I have significant experience in campaign management, having overseen digital, social, and traditional media campaigns. My role at Immortal Management Group included marketing strategy and execution, which matches the job's need for someone who can create and track performance of partner campaigns.
- Creative and Analytical Skills: The position requires a balance between creative intuition and analytical mindset, which is evident in my background. My project management experience, combined with certifications in Agile, SCRUM, and PMP, shows that I am well-versed in performance tracking, KPIs, and optimizing strategies based on data.
- Collaborative Leadership and Relationship Management: My leadership experience across multiple sectors and my ability to build and manage teams will serve me well in this role, which involves heavy collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.
