Nerdery dispatches Matt Albiniak to Chicago to partner with ad agencies
Nerdery Interactive Labs (The Nerdery) has moved senior account executive Matt Albiniak to Chicago to work with ad agencies seeking web, mobile and interactive development partners – a role he’s until now played from Nerdery HQ in Minneapolis.
With 85 agency partners nationwide, Nerdery programmers develop social media and mobile apps in partnership with large agencies and boutique shops. The Nerdery has:
· Developed Fallon’s vision for Skimmer, a lifestreaming app pooling users’ social media content and winner of a 2009 Cannes Golden Lion.
· Won the 2009 PhizzPop Design Challenge at SXSW Interactive by developing Zeus Jones’s Usemore idea, an application for living green.
· Created the Overnight Website Challenge, a 24-hour nonprofit event at which volunteer web pros have donated more than half-a-million dollars worth of professional services to 23 nonprofits so far – nerdy deeds to be done dirt cheap in Chicago as well.

A buffer between agency talent and complete nerds, Albiniak helps marketers and designers articulate their creative vision – and the business needs of their clients – to web developers who can build it – a role he’s until now played from Nerdery HQ in Minneapolis.
“I’m constantly inspired by the creativity and strategy our agency partners come to us with,” said Albiniak. “And not just agencies within the four holding companies. From the small boutique agencies taking risks to the 1,000 person agencies reshaping the interactive space, there’s some amazing work coming out of Chicago.”
Previous to joining The Nerdery, Albiniak served as director of interactive business development at Route 29 in Minneapolis, where he increased sales 372% in one year by implementing social media strategies.
