Featured Keynote

THE AI-FIRST SEARCH PLAYBOOK

800 million people are now asking ChatGPT instead of Google. What does that mean for your brand, your SEO strategy, and your customer journey? From GEO and AEO to agentic AI and the invisible consumer — this is the talk CMOs are calling their most urgent booking of 2025 and 2026.

Matt has used this keynote at CES, SXSW, Fortune 500 Offsites and Agency Summits

NAVIGATING AN AGENTIC WORLD

NAVIGATING AN AGENTIC WORLD

AI agents are already buying on behalf of consumers, bypassing brand touchpoints, and rendering traditional conversion funnels invisible. Amazon and eBay have already banned them. This talk gives executive teams a concrete framework for operating in a world where the consumer journey is no longer visible — and the brands that adapt fastest win.

Best for:

CMO Retreats, Innovation Summits, Executive Leadership Summits, Advertising and Media Summits
VIRTUAL RETAIL & THE FUTURE OF LOYALTY

VIRTUAL RETAIL & THE FUTURE OF LOYALTY

The sea of sameness in e-commerce is finally breaking. AR try-ons, token-gated loyalty programs, and immersive virtual experiences are redefining what it means to earn customer trust. Backed by M7 case studies — including a 456% year-over-year sales increase from a single AR deployment — this talk turns abstract tech into competitive strategy.

E*Trade National Offsite, Retail Innovation Events, AWE XR Conference, Luxury Brand Summits
