Matrix 2021 Year in Review

When we look back on 2021, it was a tremendous year of growth and resilience for Matrix -- from our monthly Candid Conversations (in lieu of our annual in-person Summit), to the events we attended and took part in (including TVB, MFM, Cynopsis, and more), to the launch of MASC (our Matrix-formed Media Ad Sales Council comprised of industry leaders), and so much more.

See how we have advanced the media ad sales conversation in 2021 by watching our full Year in Review video HERE!
