“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.”
Karen Townsend, Social Strategy Lead EMEA, Tik Tok
“We had the chance to meet with Matt through our creative agency in the context of a Social Media event in Paris. With the ambition to get an expert as council, we collaborated with Matt in the form of a 1-month consultancy. By means of a full audit, he provided valuable insights and actionable recommendations, in particular on how to enhance our operations. As a social media expert who understands the needs and standards of large corporations, working with Matt was a positive and worthwhile experience that we would recommend to anyone looking for social media consultancy work.”
