Matthew Dickinson

Kia ora, I'm Mat Matthew Dickinson I make brands findable, run a lot, and build fun web tools. Sometimes I write about the world.

Hey there, I'm Matthew Dickinson and I've always been obsessed with the environment, our connection to it, and our disconnection from it.

I'm also addicted to epic running adventures, building fun web tools and making the world a better place.

I concentrate my efforts to the digital marketing world where I use my 20+ years of experience and skills to drive strategies for innovative & world-leading organisations whilst building engaging digital experiences.

Adventures

The Garden of Eden ice plateau

If you see me outdoors, you'll usually find me exploring high mountain ridges, lush native woodlands or fresh flowing rivers.

When the mood grabs me, I sometimes make short films, including the original 52 Peaks in 52 Weeks adventure or challenge myself to be human in different ways, like my latest 26in2026 saga.

Right now

26in202626 runs a month, every month, 312 for the year. 261 of 312 done so far, 1,161 km on foot.
