Silfra Media Group was founded in 2025 by me, Matt Staed, an award-winning creative leader with 15+ years’ experience working with clients of all shapes and sizes in both the public and private sectors. In my career, I have enjoyed opportunities to gain hands-on experience deploying cutting-edge, measurable marketing and communications strategies and tactics for organizations including:

• Fortune 500® tech corporations

• AmLaw® 100 law firms

• The United States Congress

• The United States Intelligence Community (IC)

• Federal, state, and local government entities all around the United States

• Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies

• “Big Six” advertising agencies

If you work for an elected official or government agency and you want to foster a closer connection with the public, I can help you.

If you’re a business that works in the government space and you want more decisions makers’ eyes on your portfolio, I can help you.

I live and work in Northwest Washington, DC with my wife, our two children, and an irascible gang of community cats that live behind our home. I hold a BA from Columbia College Chicago and an MBA from Marymount University in Arlington, VA.
