Describe himself 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 8 years of B2C and B2B writing experience with major ad agencies & now heads the marketing for the digital fundraising company, Change Donations. He also teaches Marketing Analytics & Segmentation as an adjunct professor for Trinity College Dublin.
Outside of work, he chooses to embarrass himself on various social media platforms where he has over 200,000 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, awe-inspiring.
