about me

Professional Bio

B2B Technology Marketer with 18 years’ experience in digital marketing and a track record of leading strategies, projects and global teams that deliver high impact results.

Impact focused

icon-01

PERFORMANCE MARKETING

I hit lead generation targets by optimising campaigns and creating innovative digital experiences that resonate with target audience personas and increase conversion rates.

icon-02

COMMUNICATION

I get excited about delivering compelling presentations and sharing thought-provoking insights that get buy-in.

icon-03

DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS

As a Google Analytics certified practitioner, and a curious sort with access to a wide range of digital marketing analytics platforms, I use data and insights to inform my decision-making and back-up my business case proposals.

icon-03

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Have you determined your digital type: Digital First, Digital Support or Digital Hybrid? Have you created your digital journey map showing how buyers progress through the buyer journey and customer lifecycle in terms of digital and human touches? Have you taken intentional steps to optimise this?

icon-04

STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT

At the top end of stakeholder management complexity, my last significant project involved is 60+ stakeholders; the project was delivered one week early and on budget. I find being proactive, inclusive, data-driven and above all excited help move complex projects along quickly.

icon-01

LEADERSHIP

I’ve been lucky enough to work with talented teams and have grown through management training; its important to invest in and grow with others to get the best possible outcomes

icon-02

CREATIVE THINKING

With the right combination of coffee, excitability and persona insights in hand, I have executed several first-in-industry ideas that have hit the mark with target personas.

icon-04

EMOTIVE CONTENT

I create relevant, concise, search engine optimised, emotive content experiences with target audience personas front-of-mind.

B2B Success Mindset

icon-01

PERSONA MAPPING

Who are your target personas? What are their challenges? Where do they spend their time online? What are the digital and human touch points across their Education, Solution and Selection buying stages?

icon-02

SEO

What keywords do your target audience search on to find your solutions? Have you considered keyword search demand, content and intent fully? Is your digital visibility dependant on brand or non-brand keywords? How can you make your content better than the websites that rank on your target keywords? Is your technical SEO faultless e.g. site speed, mark-up schema, site architecture, etc?

icon-03

PPC

Does your PPC campaign configuration match your objectives for each solution you offer? Have you populated all ad extensions to maximise CTR? Are you using machine learning and automation to free up your time to focus on creative ideas?

icon-04

WEBSITE EXPERIENCE

Do you deliver the most compelling and relevant experience for your target audience over competing websites? Are you leading with your website or are you following your competitors?

icon-01

LANDING PAGES AND FORMS

Are your lead gen landing pages conversion rate optimised? Is your form submission rate above or below the 13% B2B industry average? Do your forms use progressive profiling? Is your data capture and management GDPR compliant?

icon-02

LEAD SCORING

Do you score leads to know how interested people are in your solutions? Do you assign leads to Teleprospecting Qualified Leads at the right time based on level of buyer readiness?

icon-03

LEAD NURTURING

Are your Marketing and Sales messaging and touch points aligned? How do you manage inactive leads who have been handed over to Sales and may not be ready to buy?

icon-04

MULTI-TOUCH REPORTING

What touch points in the buyer journey need to be improved? Is your marketing budget determined on first touch or multitouch attribution?

TESTIMONIALS

testo-01

Ilona Filipi

CEO / Moove Agency

Matt is diligent, hard-working, knowledgeable and a great team-player. From the moment we started working with Matt, we found him very open, friendly and helpful. Matt made the whole team feel valued and very motivated to work extra hard on his project – his remarkable people skills coupled with his marketing expertise and relentless energy ensured the success of the project from start to finish.

Mike Dennehy

Mike Dennehy

Managing Director, Australia / Qube Global Software

I worked closely with Matt following the acquisition of Vision Software by Qube Global Software in 2014, and I can attest both to Matt’s professionalism and mastery of the digital marketing space. He has a way of explaining things clearly but simply, making it easy for a relative lay-person to understand both the objectives and the resources required to achieve them. Matt greatly improved our branding and marketing messages, with significant increases in leads at the same time as decreasing our costs per lead – surely the ultimate testament to the effectiveness of the marketing team Matt led at Qube. Matt is engaging and approachable, and a pleasure to work with. I recommend him unreservedly.

Thomas Leslie

Thomas Leslie

Campaigns Executive / Qube Global Software

Matt is one of the most knowledgeable and hard working marketers I have had the pleasure of working with in my career to date. His meticulous planning coupled with his ability to make complex projects engaging and simple to follow is of particular note, and I truly believe this has been a critical factor in why we have enjoyed such success with the projects we have worked on together at Qube. Matt is also a great mentor, and an all-round pleasure to work with.

Natalie Shirlaw

Owner / Shirlaw Sanctuary

Matt was recommended to me very highly and I have found him to be intelligent, excellent value, trustworthy, reliable and his calm and easy going nature makes him very easy to work with. He has helped me take my business to a new level and consistently been there every step of the way explaining and helping me through each stage of the process. I could not recommend him highly enough any business would be lucky to have someone with the foresight and integrity he has.
