About Matt

Built lean.Runs sharp.

The person behind it

No account managers. Just me.

When you work with MP Marketing, you work with me. No offshore team, no junior learning on your budget. I have been building and marketing on the Sunshine Coast since 2008, and I keep the list short so every account gets senior attention every week.

The philosophy

Every dollar should do something.

Most agencies separate creative from performance. The creatives make beautiful things. The media buyers run the numbers. Neither side talks to the other, and you pay for the gap between them.

Here that gap does not exist. The creative brief starts with your conversion goal. The media strategy informs the messaging. Your landing page is part of the campaign, not an afterthought. When everything is built as one system, your results compound.

The client list stays short on purpose. Your account gets direct access to the person who built the strategy, not a junior reading the reports. That is the deal, every time.

What working together looks like
One senior operator.

Every service handled by one senior operator: serious ad budgets managed, products shipped to production, sites built that rank and convert. No juniors on your account, no offshore contractors. What you see is what you get.

Small list, full attention.

Fewer clients than the calendar allows, on purpose. Your account gets senior thinking every week, not a templated monthly report. Call anytime and get a straight answer, something most agencies cannot offer.

Straight talk, always.

If a channel is not working, you hear it first, then it gets fixed. If your budget is too small to make a campaign viable, you will know before spending a dollar. Transparent reporting means you always know where your money goes and what it returns.

How I got here
2008

First site, first lesson

Matt Pickstone builds his first client website on the Sunshine Coast. The brief was simple. The budget was modest. The lesson that stuck: a site that looks good and a site that generates leads are two very different briefs, and most clients need the second one.

2012

Google Ads becomes a specialism

Clients start asking where the traffic comes from and whether the spend is working. Paid search becomes a core offering. The early campaigns establish something that still holds: copy, landing pages, and bid strategy are one system, and optimising them separately is how you leave money on the table.

2016

Meta advertising at scale

Facebook's ad platform matures into a serious revenue channel for both e-commerce and service businesses. Direct response creative becomes a specialism in its own right. The studio learns that the offer and the creative do most of the work, and the targeting just puts them in front of the right people.

2020

Apps and SaaS enter the mix

Clients start arriving with product ideas alongside marketing problems. The studio expands into native app development and SaaS builds on modern stacks. Marketing and product begin to overlap, and the studio is better for it, because understanding distribution makes you a better builder, and understanding the product makes you a better marketer.

2024

AI changes the brief

The Anthropic API, Make, and n8n open a new category: workflow automation and purpose-built AI agents. Clients arrive with a different kind of problem, hours lost to repetitive work that a well-designed system could handle. The studio builds those systems, and the results speak for themselves.
