This eNews edition features a recent case study on how Monarch fits into the daily life of an AE, the latest Beet.TV interview with Comcast's Ryan Dunn, a call for Q4 Superhero Sales Success submissions,  upcoming Open Learning Sessions, and of course, all the latest updates on the 2022 in-person Media Ad Sales Summit! You'll want to make sure you stay tuned for this eNews edition, so wrap up warm and read on! --- ## In the News **Monarch Viewpoints | Transitioning to the Monarch Platform** Matrix’s own Sandy Gardner met up with Michael Spiesman, VP of Sales and Marketing for Allen Media Broadcasting and Heartland Media Group, and two Account Executives (AE’s) from WLFI, Lafayette Indiana, Thomas Steiner and Ron Schuessler, to chat about Matrix’s media-specific CRM and Sales Intelligence ad-sales platform, Monarch, how it fits into the daily life of an AE and the benefits that come from using the platform. Sandy and Michael had the pleasure of chatting with Tom and Ron because these two AE's are good friends who bring a lot of laughs to the conversation, but these two friends also show opposite sides of the technology adoption spectrum! With one openly embracing Monarch when WLFI implemented the platform, to the other wanting nothing to do with it. You will be smiling ear to ear watching the banter throughout this Monarch Viewpoints, video case study interview as the discussion covers the road it took for both AEs to fully trust Monarch.
