This week we’re joined by Matt Crozier, the co-founder and CEO of Community Engagement firm Bang The Table. In this episode Matt explains how organisations can engage with their audiences.
Matt co-founded Bang the Table in 2007 and with Crispin Butteriss. Prior to founding Bang the Table, Matt worked in senior positions in both the UK and New South Wales governments, dealing with transport, infrastructure, land use planning and rural and regional development issues. He also ran his own successful consulting business, helping organisations to connect with government. Matt is also the former chair of Campus Housing Services, one of Australia’s largest community housing providers.
