Matt Newell is the founder and CEO of The General Store, a company that specialises in retail strategy and innovation.

In 2013, Matt was awarded one of the highest accolades for retail innovation in the world, ‘Store Design of the Year’ at the World Retail Awards in Paris for their work with innovative retailer, Shoes of Prey (beating other finalists like the Karl Lagerfeld concept store in Paris and the Puma flagship in Osaka).

In 2014, Matt was shortlisted again for the same award (top 5 in the world) for their work with Clearly Eyewear.

And in 2015, The General Store was named ‘Emerging Agency of the Year’ at the AdNews Agency of the Year Awards.

Matt has worked with some of the top retailers in the country including Supercheap Auto, Hungry Jacks, Shoes of Prey, BMW Australia and Rebel Sport. And he has worked on a range of start-ups including BCF (Boating Camping Fishing), a category killer concept that went from $0 to $200mil in two years.

Matt sits on the advisory board for the Masters of Marketing program at Swinburne University. And frequently appears as a speaker on retail strategy, innovation, trends, human insights and marketing.
