Audra Grigaliunas

Award-winning Producer & Director | World Traveler | Chicago-born Lithuanian gal based in West Palm Beach

Audra Grigaliunas is a full-spectrum video expert, award-winning producer, and founder of MATYK Media.

Born to Lithuanian immigrants and raised outside Chicago, her name fittingly means storm in Lithuanian. One former colleague called her a paratrooper: “Drop her into any project—she’ll get it across the finish line.”

With two decades of experience in broadcast and digital media, Audra has produced and led video strategies for organizations across industries — from finance to nonprofit to entertainment.

She began her career in international advertising at United Airlines’ World Headquarters, then transitioned into television and film, producing for ABC and CBS affiliates and moving to Los Angeles to live, work, and play in the capital of film production.

Later, she was recruited by Bankrate, Inc. in New York as Senior Director of Video & Multimedia, where she built two in-house studios and a national video platform that grew organic views from 400K to over 4 million within a year. Her programs reached global audiences through partnerships with Yahoo!, NBC, Comcast, and Bloomberg.

Today, her work spans national sports organizations, financial firms, nonprofits, biotech institutes, and adventure brands. She’s a modern producer with a brand-builder’s brain and a documentarian heart — blending strategy and soul to create stories that move people and drive results.

In 2016, Audra pulled together two decades of experience and launched MATYK Media — a storytelling studio built to humanize brands in a digital-first world.

She and her team design strategy-driven, soul-first video content for mission-driven organizations, nonprofits, and visionary brands. From studio builds to campaigns, Audra leads projects that move people — emotionally and to action.

Her approach is grounded in three standards: think like entrepreneurs, lead with people, and deliver with excellence.

Her mantra: Find the soul. Build the story. Deliver with strategy.

Recognition & Leadership

A graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Audra has been recognized by the Television Academy (Emmy Awards), the American Advertising Federation (ADDY® Awards), and industry-specific organizations.

She serves on the Marketing Committee for FilmFlorida, is a Leadership Palm Beach County graduate, and is an active member of Women in Film & Television.

Explore Our Works

  • I grew up surrounded by five acres of trees and spent much time in the woods, catching amphibians and not watching time. That sense of curiosity and wonder shows up in how I direct and tell stories. It’s about trust, truth, and the space between.

  • When I’m not producing, I’m probably traveling, chasing rocket launches, skiing, or showing my two boys the world.
    I collect Lithuanian masks, look for street art, love good cheese, and shamelessly people watch… I love to wander and have good conversations. All of which inspires the work.

  • I’m a foodie and probably as creative in the kitchen as I am in an edit suite. When there’s nothing in the fridge, my kids know me to whip up a gourmet meal out of nothing.

  • I have some documentaries and docuseries in the works. I’m excited to get into long-form again, which I had a taste of while living in LA. And my vision is always to better define adventure storytelling through the female lens — where empathy, depth, and grit meet strategy, beauty, and instinctive truth.
