Session Speaker


ABOUT

Matt has very nearly filled his BINGO card for the types of media companies he crunched numbers for before taking on the role of Vice-President of Research at Signal Hill Insights. He oversees all research operations, including the industry's leading podcast brand lift program, and directs the longest running survey of podcast consumption in Canada, The Canadian Podcast Landscape, and Audio on the Move, Canada's first holistic share-of-audio study. Believing that great insights can only come from the best data, ensuring overall data quality is something of a personal crusade. In his spare time Matt plays and designs board games.
