Matthew has worked with businesses including Google, Accenture, Innocent, LEGO, and Klarna, alongside running multiple projects supporting freelancers and businesses who work with freelancers - through The Independency Co.
He launched the community in 2022 to support independent strategists, to create a place for those who work independently to connect, collaborate, and support each other.
Since that time, the community has grown to over 900 members, 4k+ in our network, and has shared over 1000+ gigs to help people find work.
Today, the community is a loved space for independent strategists, and a destination for businesses to find and work with them.
