Matt Conaghan
"Crossing the Delaware"
Oil on canvas
Can he be described in three words? Yes. He. Can. Matt graduated from the University of Notre Dame then earned a Masters in Digital Marketing & Strategy from Trinity College Dublin.
Matt has over 10 years of experience writing B2C and B2B copy for large agencies. He led the marketing for international fundraising company, Change Donations while teaching as an adjunct professor at Trinity College Dublin.
Outside of work, he chooses to embarrass himself on various social media platforms where he has over 400,000 followers – one for every insecurity.
Matt's talent is only outdone by his incredible humility. His innate ability to compliment himself in the third person is, in a word, really impressive.
