I Help Founders Build Brands
That Drive Impact & Change Lives

Matt Mahmood-Ogston

The number one issue that purpose-driven founders face when it comes to investing in their personal brand is the belief that it’s not a priority.

They’re on a mission to change the world, to solve real problems, and to create genuine impact. And in their minds, investing in their personal brand often feels secondary or even selfish compared to the bigger picture.

But here's the thing:

Personal brand isn't about vanity. It's about trust.

Why Work With Me?

With my combined 25 years of experience as a multi-award-winning charity CEO, multiple tech startup founder, running a creative business, and consulting for major brands, I know what it takes to craft a cohesive, purpose-driven personal brand that connects to the hearts and minds of audiences.

From launching my first tech startup at SXSW in Austin, Texas, with the help of the UK Government, helping a Dragon from BBC’s Dragons’ Den brand and launch five new businesses, regularly delivering talks as a keynote speaker, and acting as a spokesperson on mainstream press and media including BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 5 and radio.

I’m a hands-on, creative consultant and combine this with my skills as a pro photographer, graphic designer, UX designer, and brand consultant to help my clients achieve their goals and mission.

You are your brand. I will help you write and own your story.
