Her name is the Lithuanian word for ‘storm’.

MATYK (MAH-teek) is the Lithuanian word for ‘see it’.

Born to Lithuanian immigrants, Audra grew up in the Chicago area and graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana.

She’s been called a “paratrooper” for good reason:  Send her into any project and she’ll get it across the finish line. Before forming Matyk Media, Audra spent 20 years producing for broadcast and digital platforms.

She held senior leadership roles at ABC and CBS television affiliates, KO-MAR Productions, and New York-based Bankrate, Inc. In these roles, she successfully developed comprehensive multimedia programs while working with global organizations and some of the biggest names in digital publishing: Yahoo!, NBC, MSN, Comcast, and Bloomberg. She designs video strategies, builds studios, leads video teams, consults in-house communication teams, sets up technologies, uses data to drive video, and keeps up with the ever-changing video trends.

Growing up on a 5-acre homestead in a small town outside of Chicago, she spent much time in the woods, catching amphibians and not watching time. So off-hours, she’s still at it as a backpacker, traveler, and wanderer. Audra loves to bike, ski, run, eat cheese, do anything in the mountains, visit street art in every city, collect Lithuanian hand-carved masks, people watch, show her two boys the world, and have a good conversation. All of which inspires the work.
