Matter Communications

Matter Communications was hired by Monotype, a typeface design company, to elevate the value of creative work and typeface design in branding. The team at Matter Communications, consisting of 2-5 employees, helped interview a global set of partners to explore and explain the craft within their design work. They storyboarded the project and traveled to various on-location filming places including Florence, Berlin, Minneapolis, and Santa Barbara. The footage was then edited in a number of ways to tell a compelling story for Monotype's partner community.

In another project, a sales learning platform sought the services of Matter Communications to create the market and raise awareness of their company as the dominant player in that space. Matter Communications worked on creating thought leadership for the company's executives, establishing the co-founders as visionaries. They secured speaking opportunities and placed bylined articles, including a joint article with the Harvard Business Review about the importance of sales learning. They also handled the company's media relations and blog writing. The engagement began in January 2016 and is ongoing with Matter Communications on a monthly retainer.

Matter Communications was also engaged by JDA Software, a supply chain provider, to bring a fresh and creative approach to their media coverage. They manage a monthly and quarterly measurement global report for JDA Software, combining PR and social media metrics from North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, and Latin America. They also execute surveys and provide additional analysis and writing. The engagement, which started in October 2015, is ongoing.
