“Matt is a hugely talented, imaginative and inspirational communications practitioner. Over the 3 years that I worked with Matt, I found him to be a great motivator and mentor as I learnt the different elements that encompass working as a communications consultant to businesses of all sizes. I’ve had the pleasure of watching Matt at his best during pitches when a spark of creativity will change the entire dynamic of the meeting – usually resulting in Braben winning the piece of business. I look forward to our paths crossing again and will do my upmost to stop him beating me on the golf course!”

You're facing resistance from stakeholders on sustainability decisions. How can you get them on board?
When we wrote our book, Sustainable Advertising, a key consideration was envisaging what a net zero economy looks like in 2050. Work backwards from there. Do you want your business to be larger, more successful versus your competitive set over the next 5, 10, 20, 25 years? Because you can be sure your competitors do. Every business that gets to real sustainability first will win. Why? Your customers want it. Your staff want it. Your partners in your business eco-system require it. The regulatory environment you operate in will demand it. Simple choice really. Lose market share because you are unsustainable? Or grow market share because you are more sustainable than the rest?
