He started at Google in 2018 focusing on Product Marketing for the Google Pixel, until he made a pivot into Google’s Brand Studio to dive into the creative industry in the hopes of telling more diverse stories.    <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Google Sans',sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In his time in brand marketing, Matt focuses on creating and launching brand campaigns through short and longform films, social/influencers, broadcast, media partnerships, print, and IRL activations.
