Matthew Block - Matthew P. Block Enterprises

Matthew began consulting on communication & social media issues in 2008 when he realized the slow pace of social media adoption among Missouri's legislators & the untapped ability for policymakers to use these tools to better communicate with their constituents. After sharing ideas with  several legislators in Missouri's House of Representatives, Matthew began working with the campaigns of several state representatives & senators in March 2009 to help their campaigns expand into the online & new media fields, focusing on online fundraising, using candidate websites as communication tools rather than just online brochures, campaign utilization of tools such as Facebook and Twitter, and the use of online video.  Matt's clients quickly became recognized as leaders in using new technologies to communicate with constituents.
