Alisha Blair – Forever New (AUS & UK)
“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Matt! We needed a complete revamp of our strategy to start truly succeeding and seeing any kind of ROI. Matt and his team were able to turn our digital strategy around and exceed ROI targets in the first few months of onboarding. His knowledge and ideas within the digital space are always amazing; however, his positive, go-getting, and light-hearted attitude will always be favoured.
