Howdy!
Matt Webb, founder & co-owner
How do you ruin a successful career as a corporate attorney? Start a business to work on the side. None the less, our resident lawdawg insisted. Without doubt, the left brain in the boardroom, Matt keeps the creativity flowing just beyond Scott's control.
Scott Moore, Founder & co-owner
Vivid memories of his college days haunt him. Scott and his talented roommate crafting an idea for a media company. Fast forward to 2018 and we find him climbing the corporate latter. If it were not for a persistent childhood friend he'd still be there. "Are you going to do this podcast with me or not?" The rest is what we are trying to write with this Scruffy thing.
What's with the name, anyway?
Don't be shy about a name. Scruffy Media Partners was crafted from the now-infamous description of our beloved East Tennessee area from an 1980's-era column in the Wall Street Journal and then repeated ahead of the 1982 World's Fair, when certain media pundits so eloquently introduced Knoxville to the world with the oft forgotten moniker. We digress. Suffice to say in our area lies a certain misunderstood... quality. Knoxville came about it honestly. After all, it was its ability to produce that lead to its scruffiness. Yet, given the big city source of such misinformation most took the insult as a badge of honor. As life-long residents of the area, maybe we are uniquely qualified to acquiesce and admit we are.... a little scruffy. Scruffy, scrappy, underdog; we could go on for days and really what better way to describe yourself but as a perpetually under estimated, yet over producing item? Hire us, will show you what we are talking about.
