“Matt is one of the best in the business, we were lucky enough to have him sit down with the team and discuss his thoughts on the latest developments in social media. We walked away inspired with new ideas and new perspective on how we might tackle some of the strategic issues we face, as well as some great tactics for increasing our performance on social media in the short term.”
“As an influential and highly regarded social specialist, Matt brought his experience and knowledge to an event I organised with such energy and professionalism. Our attendees walked away inspired and felt they gained really valuable insight (and tips!) they could implement on their own channels. I’d highly recommend Matt, he’s engaging, knowledgeable and a very talented speaker.”
“Matt was recommended to us at a social media event we attended. He was very responsive with communications and accommodating our needs, restrictions, and timeline. His experience and industry knowledge were key to providing us with actionable recommendations on how we could adjust our future strategy. It was a pleasure working with him and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for social media guidance.”
“Matt knows what he is talking about! In a field weighed down by jargon and buzzwords he is refreshingly direct and grounded by real world experience. We worked together on a digital consultancy project – running focus groups, interviewing experts and costing up practical options. It was a really positive experience with great client feedback, and I would happily work with Matt on future projects.”
“I worked closely with Matt for 5 years at TNW. As a founder, it is rare that you meet someone who works harder and seems more dedicated to his or her jobs than you are. Matt was one of those guys. He possesses a unique talent for social and dealing with a large audience like TNW has. He has a great sense of humour which is a great combination with his professionalism. A pleasure to work with!”
“We were lucky enough to have Matt join our Social Media Week at UKTV and talk to the team about the future of social media. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and insightful about both the big picture and the working detail of social and digital communication. He creates forums for sharing knowledge and best practise, which is very welcome in a fast moving industry.”
