Matt Van Tuinen

I am the founder of MVT Public Relations, which specializes in sports and lifestyle public relations.

After working on public relations campaigns for renowned corporations and sporting events at Taylor, I started my own agency with one client and one goal – generate outstanding branded earned media that engages a client's target consumer.

Today, that goal is the same. Whether it is for that first client, the BNP Paribas Open, the most attended non-Grand Slam tournament in the world; or Cisco, the worldwide leader in networking whose Sports & Entertainment Solutions Group is changing how fans experience sports and entertainment events through technology; or athletes when they embark on endeavors such as promoting a new clothing line, writing a bestselling book, or conducting an event to raise money for a leading charitable organization.

Sports, entertainment, events, technology, books, and more are woven into the fabric of our agency's everyday life, and that makes it natural, easy and simple to be passionate about them. And that passion fuels creativity, strategy, and implementation – which, in the end, allows us to produce meaningful results for clients.
