Mat said: “I’ve been part of the 10 Daily team since the site launched in May 2018, so I’ve been very lucky to see the site develop and grow over the last year and a half.”
Mat has almost 10 years experience in the media and marketing industry including four years in entertainment journalism. Mat joined 10 Daily as senior entertainment reporter in March 2018. Prior to 10, Mat worked at The Huffington Post and Buzzfeed writing about entertainment and pop culture.
Mat continued: “Entertainment editor comes with a fancier title but I also took the position under the impression that they’d tell me who The Masked Singer contestants are. And yet, I’ve repeatedly been told to please stop emailing the CEO asking him ‘who that unicorn tho?’.”
Mat will report to 10 Daily editor Chris Harrison who said: “I’m super excited that Mat is taking charge of the Entertainment vertical despite not knowing who the masked singers are. Mat is a founding member of our team and his work and commitment to 10 has been recognised across the network, not just at 10 Daily.
“Our Entertainment vertical is already punching above its weight and with Mat at the helm I’m confident it will go from strength to strength. I’m sure Mat will put his own quirky stamp on our Entertainment coverage so readers should stay tuned for lots of laughs ahead.”
The appointment of Mat follows 10 Daily’s record month in August which saw the site achieve monthly unique audience of 1.46m* – the biggest audience ever.
