Speaker feedback & testimonials

Louisa Dahl
CEO, Interactive Minds
Matthew spoke at Interactive Minds events on a number of occasions and is a professional and informed speaker. He was able to educate our attendees through sharing his successful methods of online marketing and provided valuable advice and recommendations for other marketers to take away with them.
I highly respect Matthew as a professional marketer who is a confident speaker and industry expert.

Nate McDonald
Legal Linguistics Engineer, Actium AI
Matthew Clarkson made a magnificent speech. I thoroughly recommend him to hose looking for a conference speaker. Also to those looking for a private in-house boardroom presentation…of which there will be many in the next couple of years.

Salih Mujcic
Head of Product Innovation, hellomonday
Matthew is a very committed and energetic marketing professional. He is constantly looking for new ways to achieve the better outcome than his last. His greatest quality is using evidence based approaches to get real results. Everything that I have seen Matthew achieve involved a variety of sophisticated quantitative and qualitative metrics. As a consequence some of the outcomes he was able to achieve while working at Onetest were simply great. He uses his team to great effect and provides them with complete autonomy to use their skill set.

William Smith-Stubbs
Co-founder, Mettlesome & Toucan
I moved into Matt’s department and instantly knew what to expect – he was going to push me to achieve what he knew I could, but without micro managing. Matt expects excellence in other people (an attitude he and I share) and this only encourages you to live up to it. Matt embodies passion and intelligence to the point of being a true marketing geek.

Andrea Culligan
Global Lead GreenSpace Tech, Deloitte
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Matthew off and on as an aligned partner for a number of years.
Matt has been a true asset in understanding our capabilities and how we can both leverage each others’ business strengths.
All of that being said, Matt is also one of the nicest guys I’ve met in this business. Kind, clear, authentic and articulate. It’s always a pleasure to speak with him as well as work with him.
