Matt Seiler is a leader in the marketing and communications industry. Starting his career as an account guy, he quickly garnered the industry’s attention after creating the Strategic Planning Department at BBDO. Shortly thereafter he rose to the holding company level at Omnicom Group. He entered the media business after being appointed CEO of PHD North America, less than two decades after his first day as an account man. The ascension continued when IPG named Matt as global CEO of UM, and then CEO and eventual Chairman of IPG Mediabrands. As a pioneer, he has arrows in his back and has a slew of awards to off-set them. Always passionate about clients, and committed to their success, he led the industry in a move to pay for performance and automation. Matt spent all of his career to this point in the service of brands from the agency perspective. Now, as President of Marketing Solutions at Studio71, the media company for creators, Matt has the great fortune to apply all of his passion for brands from within the world of content and distribution.
