Meet the team - Matthew Hearn - Social Media and Website Lead

What is your favourite OPTEX product and why?

I have always had a soft spot for the FIT, or the FTN Series. Whether this was because it was the first ever video I did, but it looks good, it offers a good residential detection solution, and something I have at home. It's a smart little sensor looks good on the windows and across the patio door. 

What do you enjoy most about your role?

Being creative. Love seeing an idea come to life whether that be on a simple social media post or a video. I am one of those people who keeps a notepad for middle-of-the-night ideas. 

What does success in your role look like?

Success for me would be continuously increasing our online presence. We have recently launched a new website so we want to see organic traffic growth, better bounce rates, increased average session duration etc. It is for me the ultimate compliment when you see other OPTEX divisions or other companies using your creatives. 

Do you have any hobbies or a surprising fun fact about yourself?

I am a dad so this takes up a lot of my spare time, my passion is my daughter. Being a keen golfer, I have tried to influence Ellie into taking it up, but I usually end up having my make-up done.
