Matthew Peters’s Summary

Matt Peters is the co-founder of Pandemic Labs, a full-service viral and social media marketing agency in Boston, MA. Born and raised in the Boston area, Matt attended Emory University in Atlanta, GA where he graduated with highest honors with a double major in English and Creative Writing. After college, Matt worked for a few years in the movie industry, scouting locations up and down the East Coast for production companies such as Warner Bros, Disney, and Paramount Pictures.

Ideologically speaking, Matt believes in the power of new media not because it's the "hot new thing" but because it signals a shift to a consumer-controlled world. When everything is on-demand and brands can no longer expect a consumer's attention, marketers will have to begin providing value to consumers, earning their attention and trust. Social and viral media is the first step down that new path.
