Working with Matthew has been a great experience. He’s brilliant at copywriting and fantastic at putting himself in the prospect’s shoes to understand their needs and language. Always willing to learn and contribute, Matthew brought energy and ideas to all of the work we did together. Not afraid to take risks and challenge the status quo of how we did things – Mathew’s contribution allowed our team to excel, grow and hit necessary targets.
I had a pleasure to work with Matthew at Smartly.io. Matthew is an exceptionally hard-working, humble and motivated professional, while still being able to speak up when needed. His communication skills are excellent and he especially shines when things get creative and a novel idea or solution is needed. He brings catching enthusiasm and energy to any group and is not afraid to ask questions and challenge the status quo.
Matthew is a Creative with a capital C. Every situation spawns a stream of new, innovative ideas on presentation or solution, often accompanied by a mention “I actually know someone in [the scene or industry]”.
He’s also quite at home working in varying teams. During his internship, he participated in developing especially our marketing and customer experience, talking with different people all around to organization to get a proper understanding of what could be done. People never minded, either, since Matthew shows real commitment to making a difference for the customer, and does it in a friendly, cheerful way.
