RESEARCH INTERESTS
Matt has a wide interest in the field of communications and beyond. His focus is often on how narrative shapes our worlds whether through real world crises, or fictional realities. Always keen to apply his knowledge from advertising and the performing arts to real world, Matt's passion lies in using the creative industries to help address some of the wicked problems facing humanity.
Climate change is at the top of that list. Matt advocates for the divestment of fossil fuel clients by the communications industries through his work with Comms Declare, a not-for-profit calling on comms professionals and agencies to divest of their fossil fuel clients.
Matt is currently unravelling advertising's role in climate change and the human predicament as a part of his PhD research. If you think you can help, I'd love to hear from you
