Agencies & Marketing
The most intense and most public recognition culture measured.

Client work eats internal credit

Agency wins ship under the client's name. Internally, credit evaporates between sprints and pitches unless something catches it in the moment.

Public, in-flow recognition does exactly that: the win gets named in the channel where the team lives, while it still matters.

How Matter works for creative teams

Public credit, captured while the win still matters.

1

Public kudos

Credit gets named in the channel, in the moment, in front of the whole team. Kudos post in the channel as designed cards with coins attached.

2

Feedback Friday

A weekly rhythm that holds through pitch season. Feedback Friday posts a kickoff, a reminder, and a recap every week, automatically.

3

Analytics

See recognition flow across accounts and pods, and spot the burnout risks early. Analytics show participation and recognition flow by team in real time.

Recognition where the work already happens

Matter lives in the channels your pods and accounts already use, so credit gets captured in the moment instead of in a separate tool nobody opens.

No separate logins

Recognition happens inside Slack or Microsoft Teams. No new accounts to create, no passwords to reset, ever.

User management syncs itself

Membership follows your Slack or Teams directory automatically. No HRIS required to start, and 250+ supported when you want them.

About 2 minutes to set up

Install Matter, add it to a channel, and your team can start recognizing each other the same day.
Since adding Matter, we've seen employee morale thrive! We're so grateful for a tool that's easy to integrate into our culture.

Frequently asked questions

Can we recognize across client teams and pods?

Yes. Recognition works across any channel Matter is added to, so credit travels between accounts, disciplines, and offices.

Do contractors and freelancers count?

Anyone in your Slack or Teams workspace can participate, so embedded freelancers join the same recognition culture as full-time staff.

What does Matter cost?

Every workspace starts with a free 14-day trial of everything, no credit card required, then lands on the Free Forever plan. Paid plans start at $1 per user per month. Full details on the pricing page.

How long does setup take?

About 2 minutes to install and 5 to 10 to customize. Users sync from Slack or Microsoft Teams automatically, so there is no HRIS project between you and launch. 250+ HRIS integrations are supported when you want them.

Already using another recognition tool?

Switching is a smaller project than it sounds. Your balances come with you, the migration is free on paid plans, and most teams are live within days. Historical kudos do not carry over, so you start with a clean feed and full balances.
