WatkinsMedia offers strategic and creative consulting for companies, institutions, cultural projects and individual professionals. The practice brings together decades of experience in business communication, marketing, visual culture, editorial work, digital media and creative production.
Consulting can include support with positioning, communication strategy, digital presence, creative direction, project development, writing and storytelling. The aim is to help clients clarify their ideas, shape stronger narratives and develop projects that are both strategically coherent and visually distinctive.
Alongside business consulting, WatkinsMedia works on editorial and writing projects, including articles, interviews and cultural features. Matthew Watkins is a regular contributor to ESTRO, the magazine of Park Hyatt Milano, and brings an editorial perspective to projects involving place, culture, hospitality, art and design.
Teaching is also an important part of this practice. Watkins teaches Creativity and AI at university level and offers lectures, workshops and coaching sessions on creative thinking, visual communication, digital tools and the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
