"That's Meg. Hand her a mess, and she finds the story." - MG
Meg is far more than a gifted writer. She is an exceptional content strategist who can take a complex, deeply nuanced body of ideas and uncover the clearest, most compelling story within it. Meg played an instrumental role in shaping both the language and design of my company's brand and website. She quickly understood not only what I was trying to say, but what I was truly trying to build. She brought structure to ambiguity, challenged my thinking when needed, and translated my vision into language that felt precise, powerful, and unmistakably mine. Meg has the rare ability to hold the strategic whole while caring deeply about every word and detail. She is thoughtful, perceptive, highly collaborative, and an extraordinary editor. Her work made my brand stronger, clearer, and far more resonant!
That’s Meg. Hand her a mess, and she finds the story hiding inside it. She turned my scattered notes into an ebook, sharp, funny, and easy to act on, and it became one of our best-performing pieces in the campaign.
When taking on a new project, Meg dives into the details and brings an unmatched ability to research, document, and synthesize her learnings. This makes her work thoughtful, nuanced, thorough, and never plain vanilla.
Meg was especially strong at coaching. She helped people understand not just how to market better but how to do so with clearer intent, tone, and audience in mind. [...] She made me better.
She brings fresh approaches and new ways of thinking to storytelling and copywriting for every project we have worked on together. One of her strengths is keen attention to detail – she likes to build a strong understanding the customer journey and how each part will advance digital relationships and connections. [...] Meg is great at listening to others while sharing her own ideas.
With a determined and innovative manner, she develops cutting-edge content and presents it in a form appropriate to each target audience. Meg understands human communication in a way that makes her both creative as well as highly effective. Through it all, she is positive and very enjoyable to work with.
Meg is a fantastic copywriter and researcher whose in-depth technical knowledge helped me to promote our content to the write segment of social media users we were looking to reach. As well as being a fantastic writer, Meg is a go-getter and fantastic team player, who is always willing to adapt and learn new skills to further her expertise and increase the quality of her work.
[Meg] is a problem solver, which means she won't sit back and wait for direction but will come to the table with ideas that ultimately elevate the quality of work. She has a unique ability to understand highly technical concepts and create marketing copy and materials that make the subject matter accessible and interesting to a more diverse audience.
The amount and quality of the deliverables she produces is truly impressive. I don’t think I know anyone else as talented as Meg!
Meg was the perfect partner to approach brand narratives in unconventional ways, whether persuasive social content or higher stakes media investments like partnerships with the New York Times and WIRED to podcast scripts with Conan O'Brien, Stephen Dubner, Kara Swisher and more.
During her time as Marketing Director at DI Squared [...] she stepped into a complex role in a highly technical space and quickly made it her own. Within the realities of a lean team and finite resources, Meg consistently showed up with focus, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to moving the brand and pipeline forward.
[Meg] is extremely comfortable leading interviews with technology leaders and influencers, and writing or leading the production of foundational assets that have been the foundation of our brand campaigns. She is insightful and is able to tell as story that engages and educates audiences. Meg is a partner in leading across all marketing teams (brand, digital, solutions, and office of the CTO) to ensure that our marketing goals are achieved.
Meg has a thoughtful approach to each project that you don't come across every day. Instead of taking a snippet of direction and saying, okay, Meg asks questions to clarify the purpose and doesn't settle for sub-par work. She's kind and driven, and a pleasure to have on a team.
Meg took our marketing efforts to another level – she significantly elevated DI Squared's brand presence, surpassing expectations across the board. Engagement levels and follower growth increased dramatically, and the consistency and quality of our LinkedIn content improved tremendously compared to previous periods. Beyond that, her energy is contagious. She's collaborative, determined, and always focused on delivering high-quality, impactful work.
Writing, editorial & translation
Megan's job make a difference in the area. She was professional, committed and highly responsible. She knows how to work in under pressure, and identify potential errors in documents. Megan has a wide knowledge of the different sectors: Corporate, Financial Institutions, and Public Finance. She will add value to any role she takes in the future.
When I read Meg Matich’s report for a new novel by one of Iceland’s most treasured novelists, it was like I was entering another dimension. Meg rendered the book in all its fullness and explained its internal mechanics, under the surface, with the eagle’s eye of a true writer. Meg’s rich and detailed work is high above the usual standards — in one word, it is brilliant!
Meg’s knowledge and understanding of translation and cultural nuances brought the project to another level.
...with scalpel precision but also a sense of tenderness, singing through Meg Matich’s translation.
Megan is a dynamic communicator and problem solver. Her copy editing skills are top notch and her fluency in multiple languages give her an advantage with any content. Also, in the time I worked with Megan I saw how her willingness to learn and perseverance in the face of challenges made her an invaluable part of the team. I'd welcome the opportunity to work with Megan any time.
In Matich’s English translation, Saga’s shifting understanding of herself is rendered in a language that is straightforward yet poetic...
Meg Matich’s excellent translation pulls off the magic trick of making it feel as if you are reading in Icelandic.
