Matthew is an experienced CRO and digital publishing executive with a track record for delivering significant organic growth, integrating acquisitions and building diversified digital revenues.

Why New Model Media? New Model Media was founded on the belief that with the right strategy there is an opportunity for every publisher to unlock new high growth and high margin digital revenue streams. Times are challenging in digital media. Reader loyalty has never been harder to maintain, Google search success has never been harder to achieve, and competition across platforms has never been greater. Algorithm changes on both search and social platforms can stifle traffic growth, ad budgets are being cut in many sectors, and AI is driving change in both content creation and reader behaviour. We firmly believe that these challenges also breed opportunity, and that there are clear routes to building profitable and successful digital media businesses. This new model for digital media success is built on diversified, recurring revenues, excellent user experience, high value content, trusted relationships and authoritative journalism. It's our belief that premium publishers will remain an important part of the digital landscape, and they are uniquely placed to offer high quality, expert and trusted content that builds loyal communities of readers, watchers and listeners. We can help you build the right strategy to drive a step change in digital revenue growth.
