In my own words

Matthew

eCommerce expert of 22 years with enterprise level skills in a vast array of marketing software, strategies, and tools.

Leveraged Social Media to build a clothing brand, Arm The Animals (ATA) Clothing, from my living room to $28,000,000 in sales over 12 years as CMO & Partner. Managed $5,000,000+ in media buys for over a dozen distinct brands and products.

Simultaneously served as President of novel Production-on-Demand (POD) start-up Propr Creative, achieving $3,000,000 in sales over three years. Real-world success and experience in every facet of marketing, merchandising, media buying, production, sales, social media, management, campaigns and team-building.

Seeking a new challenge and opportunity to truly grow as a professional with an established company and share my two decades of skills, triumphs, and lessons learned with the next generation. What I know is not available in books or an online course; however, it can be leveraged and passed along.

I have been on the frontlines of the Internet/Social Media revolution my entire career. I've been finding novel ways to market by staying in attack mode, never missing, staying current and never blaming circumstances. I am a Nuclear Powered Unicorn that will absolutely give any company a competitive edge.
