Matthew Howells-Barby

Matthew has built his entire career on his ability to drive results. After years of leading digital campaigns at some of the most respected agencies in the UK, Matt was hired as HubSpot’s Global Head of SEO.

Within six months, he’d grown organic traffic by more than 50%. Within two years, it’d skyrocketed over 200%. As HubSpot’s Director of Acquisition, he’s helped the company double sitewide conversions.

Matthew also advises on acquisition for startups and tech firms like BuildFire (0 to 1MM visitors in 9 months) AppInstitute (300% increase in organic traffic in 3 months), Deputy, and Lumanu.

He’s been a keynote speaker on stages like MozCon, SearchLove, INBOUND, and GrowthHackers. And he’s just getting started.

Nick Eubanks

Nick founded his first company at age 19, and sold his first business at age 24. Now, he consults on SEO strategy to billion-dollar businesses as the CEO and Chief Strategist of From the Future.

Because free time is overrated, he built and sold a 47-post blog for $100K on a whim, and launched multiple infoproducts in niches he had less than no experience in that netted over $500k in revenue.

Before focusing full-time on FTF, Nick helped build TrafficSafetyStore.com to outrank Amazon, Ebay, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Walmart for their target keywords – helping them grow to 8 figures per year in online revenue. At this point, Fortune 100s hire him just to keep him from competing with them.

When it comes to technical SEO, information architecture, and user experience – Nick’s the one guy you definitely want to have on your team—and now, you do.

Ian Howells

If you’ve never heard of Ian Howells, it’s because he’d probably prefer it that way. He’s more of a “shut up and rank sh*#!” guy.

Since ’99, he’s competed in and dominated in the fiercest niches and darkest corners of the web (think: poker, pills, and… you know.)

His agency work began in 2007, eventually landing him at Red Ventures where he managed a book of business worth millions per month. He now leads SEO at LendingTree, where his career depends on ranking for terms like “car loans” and “debt consolidation.”

If there’s a loophole, Ian can find and exploit it. He was using your new favorite tactic five years ago. Buckle up; it’s going to get real.

Nadya Khoja

Upon realizing that her decision to pursue a theatre degree would lead to a life of little to no financial growth, Nadya decided to complete a Masters Degree in Digital Media. Soon after that, she began her work at Venngage, a graphic design and data visualization platform, where she was told she would be trained in digital marketing en lieu of her lack of experience.

Nearly four years later and Nadya is now Chief Growth Officer at Venngage and still wondering when she will get the training she was promised. She has written for and been featured in publications such as Forbes, The Next Web, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, Mashable, Wired and CBC News, and spends her free time working on her new web-series, Drunk Entrepreneurs.
