“Too many strategists present surface perspectives to the point of pride, while simultaneously ignoring what’s really going on. ZINE is the antithesis of this truth. Matt Klein’s investigations get at deeper, unspoken territories to illuminate revolutionary change in ourselves and those that surround us.”

— Chris Perry
Chairman, Weber Shandwick

Q: Klein?

A: Hey, I’m Matt Klein, a cultural theorist and strategist.

I study social shifts for the United Nations and Fortune 100 business, to investors and TV producers — and advise on strategy. Outside of ZINE, I’m the Head of Global Foresight at Reddit.

As a trusted source in explaining the emerging, my insights can be found in The NYT, WSJ, Forbes, VICE, Adweek and The Atlantic.
