A Warm Welcome To Matt Joy – Managing Partner

We are delighted to welcome Matt Joy to our growing team, joining as Managing Partner.

Matt has a wealth of industry experience, having spent more than 10 years in the sports industry, and most recently four at a strategic brand agency.

His previous roles have included five years as Marketing Manager at Stoke City during their Premier League golden years, before moving south and helping create the Marketing team at Bristol Sport during the rebuild of Ashton Gate. Following that, he spent four years at Mr B & Friends in Bristol.

In regards to his responsibility at JMP, Matt will be a crucial cog in our ability to excel as an agency, offering additional strategic insights and creative campaigns to our clients.

Managing Director Joe Meredith expanded on this.

“It’s a significant role, the biggest addition we’ve ever made to the business,” he said.

“It’s something that I feel we’ve both wanted to happen for a long time. Everything just needed to align, Matt is in a position to elevate the offerings of JMP and I’m really excited to work with him to take JMP to the next level.”

Matt expressed his excitement about what lies ahead, for both himself and JMP.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” he said. “I’ve known Joe since I initially moved to Bristol and how he has grown the agency in that time has been great to see. It’s an exciting time to now get involved and add to the recent successes.

“My role is going to be quite broad but ultimately I will have a real focus on the growth of the agency. First of all to define who we are, our offerings and identify where we can add real value to our clients, both current and new.” 

Matt joins our newly-formed Senior Leadership Team, alongside MD Joe and Operations Director Vicki Theobald.
