Active ingredients

Three things Matt does, and does properly.

Martech & first-party data

Your customer data is the only asset no platform can take away. Matt helps you choose the right technology, connect it and put it to work.

  • CDP, DMP and data clean room selection and integration
  • 360° customer profiles activated across channels
  • Tag management, attribution and ad verification
  • Data monetisation concepts for publishers and retailers

Salesforce & marketing automation

Strategy is nice. Journeys that actually send are nicer. Matt designs the automation and builds it himself, in the tools your team already runs.

  • Salesforce Marketing Cloud, certified Email Specialist
  • Braze lifecycle, onboarding and re-activation flows
  • Personalised, relevant customer communication
  • Hands-on campaign management

Data-driven advertising

Programmatic setups built on your own data instead of rented guesses, from the first audience segment to the last impression.

  • Google Marketing Platform, Adform and the Virtual Minds stack
  • Display, video, native, mobile, in-app, TV & stream, audio
  • Retail media strategy and commercialisation
  • Audience management and media planning

Directions for use

Four ways to take it.

No retainers you cannot get out of, no team of juniors behind the curtain. You pick the format, and the person you talk to is the person who does the work.

  • As a strategy

    Strategic consulting

    A clear view of where your marketing, adtech and first-party data should go, and which technology gets you there.

  • As a build

    Implementation

    Matt sets up and steers the stack himself: platforms connected, audiences flowing, campaigns live.

  • As a stand-in

    Interim management

    A senior hand for the seat that is empty right now, in CRM, marketing automation or programmatic.

  • As a standing order

    Managed services

    Ongoing operation of your automation and campaign setups, so the day-to-day keeps running.

Formulated by

Matthias “Matt” Schönborn

Matt has worked in data-driven advertising since 2014: first building data products and analytics teams on the publisher side, then implementing complete programmatic and martech stacks as a consultant. Since 2020 he has been doing it under his own name.

That mix is the point. He knows how the ad side buys, how the CRM side sends, and how first-party data has to be wired so both pull in the same direction. And because he still works hands-on in Salesforce and Braze, the strategy he hands you is one he can build.
