Marketing and tech strategist by day, volunteer by night
Marketing and tech strategist by day, volunteer by night
Conference keynotes. Workshops. Consultancy. After-dinner speaking.
I love public speaking. Tell a story, make people laugh, add value. It's a pretty simple formula.
I write and speak about how marketers and professional services professionals can actually insigate change to business practices. This might be the adoption of technology, but more often about how human behaviour matters more than tech features. AI is already powerful. The bottleneck is rarely capability. It is behaviour, confidence and culture.
What they say about my presentation....
"Witty, urbane, a little manic..."
"Matt Leopold is one of the most energetic ‘non-sport speakers’ we have seen"
"Bottle this guy and sell him!"
My day job sits in legal technology, spanning brand strategy, communications, PR and go-to-market work for global businesses. I care about outcomes, not outputs. The work only counts if it changes a belief, a decision or a behaviour.
There are a few convictions I bring to everything I do:
Technology is a multiplier, not a shortcut
Measurement should improve decisions, not justify them after the fact
Relevance and trust drive adoption far more than novelty
The best professionals use tools to sharpen thinking, not replace it

My secret?
It is important to understand HOW marketing works. But that's the easy bit. The more complex (and most interesting bit, in my opinion) is working out WHY it works.
Thankfully, I'm not just talking to myself. As a non-exec board director of the European Sponsorship Association, I have been charged with helping the industry better demonstrate the impact of brand and brand activities on business results.
