After 4 years at Listers Group, Matt left to join a successful digital marketing and advertising agency based in Leamington Spa. They looked after accounts for Arbury Group, Hendy Group, Jardine Motors, Johnsons Cars, Lookers and Viezu. It was during his time there that he truly honed his skills managing multiple accounts, ensuring that all clients were offered the best possible service, with regular communication and innovative campaigns that offer clear ROI. 

Two years later, Matt was offered the opportunity to work for one of the countries most reputable automotive paint shops, Reflex Auto Design. Matt’s main responsibilities were digital marketing, social media management, building and managing a full e-commerce website. Matt spent time understanding about paintwork, quality and spotting defects, understanding what challenges the customer faced and how he could communicate
the solutions the company could provide. While at Reflex, Matt built his infamous Old & New Rothmans 997 Porsche, taking the time to paint the vehicle rather than wrapping with race livery, so that we could use it for promotional purposes and support the company’s marketing campaign. This proved a huge success, with the car appearing everywhere online, it blew up gaining them over 5,000 followers in the space of one week. The car was featured in three magazines and over ten online blogs promoting the business.
