Matthew T Grant

This is the personal blog of Matthew T. Grant, PhD. My professional interests include content marketing, organizational behavior, and corporate education.

My personal interests include Ovid, John Coltrane, and George Jones (oh, yes, and my family and friends).

Of all forms of human expression, music is my favorite and has been an enduring passion throughout my life. I’m also quite taken with words either in written or spoken form.

I can be contacted at mtg_at_matthewtgrant.com. You can also find me on LinkedIn and Twitter.

I am currently consulting with a number of clients on content strategy and development. If you’d like to talk with me about THAT, I’m all ears (as Ross Perot used to say).

And now for a brief history of my vita so far:

After teaching German at Middlebury College, I left the academic world to create the internal training function at Aquent (formerly MacTemps). There I went on to serve as director of communications, speaking publicly on the company’s behalf and heading up a number of social media initiatives including blogs, podcasts, video, and e-newsletters. My title throughout my tenure at Aquent was Minister of Enlightenment.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Stanford University and my PhD from Cornell University, both in the field of German Studies.

I was born in Michigan, grew up in California, and have lived in New England or thereabouts since 1986.
