Matt Jernigan
Comedian, Musician and Actor Extraordinaire

Hailing from North Carolina, Matt got his start in Comedy as he tried to find placement as an actor in an improv troupe.

You've probably also seen him in various films, TV shows and commercials. Get to know Matt—read about his heart for the entertainment industry, the lost, his unique comedy and heart to serve the Lord. Read more.

Know Your Target Audience

1 Corinthians 9:22* -

To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

Gain a clear grasp of the group you are trying to reach. Explore your target audience's socio-economic demographic: age, culture, gender, education, recreational activities, family status, employment, income, etc. Understanding your target audience will have a huge impact on your Event, and can mean the difference between a “fun night” and changed lives. Dig deeper into the thoughts and feelings of your target audience so you can approach them from the right angle.

Featuring Matt Jernigan

“I can't believe that kids are still wearing the Hip- Hop clothes. You know, with the pants hanging way down, with their boxer shorts hanging out, and a tank top. Cause I'm thinking, all of a sudden, my grandfather's in style and he don't even know it.”
