President and Co-founder, big BOING
CEO Summit Presentation
Bio
Matt is President and Co-founder of big BOING. What
really makes Matt Brown tick is his keen understanding and passion
for play with a capital "P", which is why his 'formal' title is
Play Czar.
big BOING, LLC is a strategic innovation company committed to
promoting happiness and well-being through play and ecological
harmony. In addition to launching its own awardwinning brands, big
BOING has worked with partners including Coca Cola, Playskool,
Disney Retail, Kraft, Toys R Us, PBS Kids, Nickelodeon and Learning
Curve to develop new and revitalise existing brands.
In 2010, Matt took a hiatus from big BOING to be President of
Klutz and SVP of Scholastic, where he deployed design and play
principles throughout the organisation to stabilise, reshape and
prepare Klutz for growing a high impact brand centered on
creative confidence and laughter. Klutz is for kids,
including activity books, toys, games and other fun stuff.
Over his 17 years in the play business he's done it all.
Everything from building things with his bare hands to spearheading
multi-million dollar, international business ventures (also with
his bare hands).
And, he is a recovering attorney. We wish him well.
