At The Media Matters we believe in partnership. Whether it is with our clients, our media contacts, our vendors, or our internal team, we are all in this together. We appreciate those with whom we choose to work and it shows in the level of commitment and creativity we bring forth for them. We respect the relationships we have built through the years and it shows. One of our clients recently commented, “You have the best contact list in the business.” That’s because people know us, like us, want to work with us, and value what we bring to the party. We are passionate about our work and all it represents. We are ambassadors of optimism. Where others only see impasses, we are busy moving mountains. We are The Media Matters and, for you, it really does matter.
kathy wall hunt
Founding The Media Matters in 2000, Kathy Hunt, has lent her award-winning talents in marketing, brand strategy, and consulting services to the furnishings and design industries for decades. At a time when women executives were a rarity, she broke glass ceilings at some of the industries’ largest companies and has the scars to prove it. Her vast career experiences include liaising between major manufacturers and licensed international brands. She brings a wealth of actionable strategies to the company’s clients, which include retailers, manufacturers, and designers. Kathy is a well-versed world traveler with a penchant for designer clothes at a great deal, a perfect Cosmo, and music from the 50s. She loves giving back, giving presentations, and getting checks in the mail. She hates oranges, cruise ships, and the squirrels in her yard.

She loves anything blueberry and things with spots like her Dalmatian, Lily, while actively avoiding liver and onions, guacamole, and annoying people.

Prior to joining The Media Matters, Melissa worked with politicians in Ohio and ran a county License Bureau and Title Office. From billing, invoicing, ordering, and estimating to vendor communications, website admin-istration and project facilitation, she does it all. She also manages to keep the rest of the Media Matters team on track, which at times can be likened to herding cats. Melissa has a passion for life and is always up for an adventure, keeping her bucket list close at hand. She loves traveling, exercising, motorcycles, and horses and despises fear, worry, and doubt (and bugs).
