Ted Mattox came to Montclair six years ago attracted by the diversity of the community, its residential nature and the quality of life it offered his family. Ted is excited to have the opportunity to join with an experienced group of leaders to lend his energy and skills to Montclair municipal government. His vision and experience in product testing, communications and negotiations are readily applicable to the Township.

Ted Mattox has been an innovative leader in the marketing, communications and Internet industries for more than 18 years. His creative style, straightforward approach and out-of-the-box thinking have helped launch a wide range of successful business ventures.

Ted was employed as Director of Multimedia Publishing and New Business Development for Consumers Union, the not-for-profit publisher of Consumer Reports Magazine. At Consumers Union, Mattox expanded and solidified the Consumer Reports strategic alliances with major media and commercial outlets. He negotiated multi-million dollar business deals with such clients as Yahoo!, America Online and MSN. Ted shares the organizations’ mission of providing unbiased testing and information to protect consumers from unsafe and/or unproductive consumer products.

Prior to joining Consumers Union, Ted was employed by NBC and CBS Television Networks where his teams launched seasons of successful network television programming, the CBS and NBC.com websites and managed the NBC “Must See TV” promotional campaign.

While at NBC, he created the largest Internet event to date, brining together artists and entertainers from Quincy Jones to Toni Braxton for a month of daily Internet chat sessions. Before joining the media industry, Mr. Mattox worked with Sony Corporation of North America in its Business and Professional Products Group.

Ted is the recipient of numerous professional and community awards, including the New Media Invision award, the Harlem YMCA Man of the Year award, and the Sony Star Power award.
