Ads Don’t Work Without Psychology.

At MattisonCo, we help founders move beyond “just run ads” thinking into story-driven branding that resonates, connects, and converts — so your customer remembers you even when the ads stop.

Founder Chris Mattison, MattisonCo — helping businesses move beyond ads with psychology-driven storytelling and lasting customer connection.

Attention Can Be Bought. Connection Must Be Earned.

You feel like just another number in your agency’s roster.

People see your ad, but they don’t think about you again.

Your agency keeps talking about impressions and clicks, but no one connects with your brand.

You’ve tried the latest tricks, but none of them last.

Chris Mattison, founder of MattisonCo, speaking at a conference — sharing insights on psychology, storytelling, and brand strategy

Meet the Founder- Chris Mattison

My journey began with a passion for creativity and understanding why people connect with certain stories. As an artist, I learned firsthand how powerful storytelling and strategy could be when I started promoting my own music. Media buying wasn’t just about clicks; it was about finding the psychology that made people care. That experience opened doors to working with brands across fashion, beverages, skincare, solar, and more. Over time, I realized what mattered most to me wasn’t scale. It was working closely with founders who wanted more than just dashboards and reports.

My Promise

I know what it feels like to pour yourself into something you believe in, only to have an agency treat you like just another invoice. Too often, I hear from founders who invested heavily in ads, only to end up with quick wins that disappeared as soon as the spending stopped. I’ve seen too many founders pay for impressions and clicks without ever building a brand people remember.

When you’ve built something with your heart, you deserve more than “growth hacks” or empty impressions. You deserve someone who digs into your story, understands your audience’s psychology, and helps create a connection that actually lasts.

I don’t believe in flipping switches or chasing the next shiny tactic. My promise is simple: I treat your brand like it’s my own. With creativity, strategy, and a psychology-first approach, I’ll help you build the kind of brand people don’t just notice—they remember.
