Matt is a Policy and Public Affairs Coordinator in our Edmonton office.  

Before joining Canadian Strategy Group, Matt spent nine years as a writer in a client services role, splitting his time between two major Canadian media companies. While in media, Matt relied on research, writing, editing, and communication planning skills to help hundreds of national, regional, and local clients reach their customers with targeted advertising campaigns. During this chapter of his career, Matt worked with clients in a variety of private sectors, including consumer goods, agriculture, and transportation, along with several clients in the public and non-profit sectors.   

Matt has also gained valuable writing, research, and advocacy experience with The Plakhov Group – a think tank specializing in Eastern European and Transatlantic geopolitics – and as a member of the Communications Committee for 880 CHED Santas Anonymous – an Edmonton-based charity that delivers toys to over 20,000 less-fortunate children every Christmas.
