Matt Scherer’s Summary

My company's focus is on helping our clients generate positive publicity for their businesses and community efforts. Having worked as both a news writer, a blogger with more than 400 submission and as a TV producer, I understand the processes that appeal to the media.

In addition to my work in media relations, I have written a lot of articles for my clients, most recently within the security and technology industry. In many cases, I will get an article placed and then also complete it within the editorial parameters of each publication's style book.

My clients will tell you that I spend more time listening to them than talking about objectives. As a natural communicator, I love to talk. However, thanks to the training I got from Toastmasters International, I learned that there's a reason that God gave me two eyes, two ears and only one mouth.

Most recently, I was one of the first eight "City Brite" bloggers for the San Antonio Express-News. You can find my blog at http://budurl.com/mysa4.

If you are a business or technology executive who wants to help improve your communications processes, I would love the opportunity to discuss them with you. Please email me at mattscherer@gmail.com.
