CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Matt has been a successful broadcaster, media executive and consultant for twenty years. He has been in front of camera and microphone, presenting and producing over 500 television shows and thousands of radio programs and was the host of the first-ever English late-night talk show produced for the Asian continent.

As an executive, his business and marketing strategies for one of Asia's largest radio groups resulted in one of international radio's most successful single-station marketing campaigns, a revenue-generating database of over 500,000 listeners and associated sales revenues of more than $20,000,000. He has developed mega-NTR campaigns for radio, including original full-length feature films, a network of Internet kiosks in 7-11 stores, and stadium rock concerts.

In 2000, Matt was a pioneer of Internet broadcasting, creating one of the original online systems for user-generated radio content and negotiating the first-ever DMCA-compliant song-streaming / download agreement with the RIAA.

Since becoming a consultant, Matt has worked with broadcasters on three continents, and has delivered hundreds of media outlet-sponsored seminars to thousands of attendees. Matt is also a regular key-note speaker at major industry bodies like the Radio Advertising Bureau, the National Association of Broadcasters, and State Broadcast Associations.

In 2007, Matt co-founded ARIA Inc - the world's first online productivity system and community learning network specifically for radio sales professionals.

He is the co-founder of Hackett & Tate Media, and radioDCL, and the co-author of the broadcast industry best-selling book "Juggling Oranges". He is also the editor of the "revenue.generator", a broadcasting industry e-newsletter read by over 21,000 advertising people each week.
