Matthew Dooley is a Cincinnati OH native residing in
Newport KY whose life is about innovating, connecting
and giving back. He has quickly become a go-to for
social media expertise; fulfilling roles as a strategist,
speaker, consultant and professor.
Matthew is the founder and CEO of dooley media, a
social media agency focused on creating raving fans for
local businesses. After signing his fifth client in August of
2011, Matthew resigned from his full-time position as
Social Media Strategist for a local $1.5 billion insurance
company to focus on building his own business. The firm
currently services a growing list of small and mediumsized clients, including Bayer Becker.
In addition to his social media agency, Matthew is the co-founder and COO of nugg-it,
which is debuting a wearable tech device in late 2013. nugg-it is an always-on device
that's ready to quickly capture the most quotable moments in your day-to-day life. The
recording technology ensures that the last sixty
seconds of conversation is always being cached
and ready to archive with the touch of the wrist.
He and his business partner have successfully
raised 40% of their $600,000 seed round of
funding. Their business was recently featured in
a Cincinnati Enquirer article.
Matthew is also teaching social media to MBA
students at Xavier University’s Williams
College
of
Business.
Combining
his
knowledge and his experience in this emerging
field, Matthew developed the curriculum from
scratch and is especially proud of the interactive
nature of the course and the lineup of guest
speakers and participating companies. His
course was recently featured in a Soapbox
Media article.
Matthew’s passion for social media also plays
out in a number of other ways. He actually got
his start in practicing social media by helping
various local not-for-profit organizations, all of
which he continues to support. Matthew is also
a monthly contributor to the technology/social
media column of Cincinnati Profile, an online
lifestyle publication for professional men in
Greater Cincinnati. In order to stay on top of the
latest, Matthew is an active member and
moderator for Cincinnati Social Media, the
largest social networking group in Cincinnati
(nearly 3,500 members).
