Team Brand Water
Matthew Collingsworth
Founder and Chief at Brand Water
Matt is a graduate of the University of Florida College of Journalism. His first job in media was as a reporter at the St. Croix Avis, a daily newspaper in the United States Virgin Islands. In that isolated but vibrant market, it became as clear as the ocean waters there: Media influences community. It doesn’t just do this in passing, but by setting its teeth in. It’s aggressive and, when done right, represents a powerful tool for shaping cultures and outcomes.
This idea shaped the decisions Matt would make from that point forward and built the foundation for what Brand Water is today. After a transition from print to broadcast news that lasted several years, Matt gravitated toward the sales and production side of the business. There he found much success and fulfillment helping businesses big and small establish their Brands in markets like Tampa, Atlanta and Washington DC.
After an illustrious run in the revenue facing side of the business, Matt established Brand Water, LLC in 2014 and took it online in 2015, leaving a well-paying corporate job to start a business of his own.
Matt lives in Palm Harbor, Fl with his wife and three camera-ready children. They enjoy walks on the beach with their dogs and riding golf carts around town with Taylor Swift on full blast.
CJ Geoffroy
Director at Brand Water - Austin TX Division
Growing up, CJ always wanted to be an actor in movies or on television. Once he realized that wasn’t going to happen, he did the next best thing, he started working in television. After graduating from Sam Houston State University, he put his marketing degree to use by working as Account Executive at KVC, a small, independent television station in Austin, TX and never looked back.
He has worked in television, print and digital advertising for over 20 years and has loved every minute of it. Helping businesses find their audience, refine their brand and grow their revenue is his passion.
He literally owes everything he has to his advertising career. He met his wife, Lauren, when he was an Account Executive at KVUE Television and she was his Media Buyer at LatinWorks. The rest is history. When he’s not working (which is rare), he loves spending time with his 6-year old son, listening to live music and taking advantage of Austin’s food scene.
