Note from Founder Matt Cornelison:
Hello future fun guy or fun gal!
I thought it might be helpful to know why I started this company.
Fungi Media is a video storytelling company for Marketing Rockstars. We make videos
(among other things) and help people use storytelling to grow their business. There are tons of metrics that demonstrate why video and good storytelling help our clients make more money. But for me, it’s more personal. I believe that, at the core, everyone has a deep desire to simply be heard. This can only happen when they are able to express themselves in their own way through powerful, authentic and sometimes even fun stories. The problem is that most people don’t even know where to begin.
Personally, I’m on a mission to grow as a creator, storyteller and person. I’m also on a mission to create an organization where others can do the same. On one hand, I’m an artist who makes certain decisions that will lead to more fun than mon…ey. I play air guitar professionally, perform in a comedy rap band and am currently writing a screenplay. But I’ve also built a successful career (by my own standards) as a Creative Director working with brands like Harley Davidson, BMO Bank, NPR and U.S. Special Operations. Fungi Media is a growing business that I think will make a dent in our universe….very soon ☺ I share all this because I want to work alongside others that believe growth is essential, but also fun.
If you take your own professional and personal growth seriously, believe you might have the right stuff for the job and want to learn more, please keep reading.
Excited for the chance to meet you!
