Bio
Tom Stewart
Matt was a fantastic partner for my outdoor lifestyle business. Through our relationship with ECHOS, he led a successful and well governed PR program for us that generated substantial awareness for the brand. In a domain of marketing that can be difficult to measure, Matt worked with us to think about reporting in new ways, further distinguishing his work from previous experiences we have had with PR. He also worked with us to pursue new storytelling angles and ways to excite media, which we successfully layered on top of the drumbeat of product seeding and editor outreach that was the bedrock of the work. Beyond his professionalism, Matt is an all around great dude. Working together was always a pleasure, further strengthened by our shared love for the outdoors. I'm grateful that we crossed paths and were able to work together on meaningful projects for our company.

We contacted Matt just a few days before our final presentation at Techstars Boulder Demo Day. It was a critical time for Wunder Capital as a company. Matt was extremely responsive, clearly understood the industry and was quick to develop a strategy to promote the launch of our solar fund as well as our participation in Techstars. Matt opened many doors for us which resulted in media coverage in The Denver Post, CleanTechnica, pv magazine, Solar Love and several other influential publications. We always knew what he was working on and what was next, and he gets the importance of demonstrating a return on investment. It was a pleasure to work with Matt and I would definitely recommend his company MELD for public relations.
