Who we are
We believe in the revolutionary power of research to create a better world. However, realising that potential requires an engaged society – from politicians and industry to philanthropy, media, and the public. Unfortunately, the science, technology, and research sectors are falling behind in this crucial engagement
​
This is precisely where STEM Matters makes a difference. We collaborate with clients who are seeking to transform their audience engagement. Our clients are disruptors, change-makers, and leaders who aren't content with the status quo and are driven to maximise their global impact.
​
As a trusted partner for leaders across research, technology, industry, philanthropy, government, and education, we're committed to helping you transform how you connect with your most important audiences. We've worked with over 100 clients globally, helping them unlock new opportunities, amplify their voice, and achieve their most ambitious goals.
​
No matter your mission – whether it's building funding, boosting rankings, attracting top talent, expanding influence, raising your profile, or forging powerful collaborations – we are here to guide you every step of the way. Together, let's shape a future where research, technology, and innovation truly resonate with society, and where your work genuinely changes the world.

Our Founder
Kylie Ahern’s work has set a new standard for engaging audiences with research and education, helping to unlock millions of dollars in research funding and attract many new researchers to the field.
​
Over the course of her career, she has co-founded three enormously successful multi-award-winning publications: COSMOS, Australia’s first home-grown science magazine; G Magazine, the first-ever “green lifestyle” sustainability-focused magazine; and The Brilliant, the first global hub for science communication.
​
Recognised internationally for her leadership in publishing, she helped lead Nature Publishing Group’s successful expansion into Australia and NZ.
