For nearly 30 years, Matt Garcia has been creating pioneering and innovative brands at the very Start of entire industries.
In 1996, amidst the very early days of the internet, Matt founded one of the UK's first internet development studios.
In 2008, recognising the potential of social media, he founded one of the world's first social media 'influencer' agencies (below), connecting everyday people with brands.
In 2012, Matt leveraged his passion for boxing training and inclusivity by establishing the UK’s first Get FIT Not HIT® boxing club.
Later the same year Matt founded the world’s first yoga-based training method for boxers, and a couple of years later the original ‘HIIT Boxing’ training method.
Matt's track record highlights his knack for establishing innovative brands from the beginning and guiding them to success.

Co-founded in 2008 by Matt Garcia, Everyday Models is considered the world's first ‘influencer agencies’, enabling brands and 'everyday people' to financially benefit from social media, creating a business model around brokering people's possessions as advertising space.
Regarded as a pioneer of ‘sellsumerism’, in 2009 Everyday Models received the Board of Innovation’s ‘Most Innovative Business Concept of the Year’ award.
After several years of growth, Matt SOLD the company to focus on ‘Total Boxer’, his exciting new concept of a ‘real’ boxing club ‘for everyone’.
"Everyday Models is offering something new and something potentially powerful… where ordinary consumers are finding innovative ways to bring in some extra cash."

In 1996, after a successful stint in the communications industry, Matt witnessed the emergence of the ‘World Wide Web’, as it was referred to in those days, and established an independent Web development agency, one of the first in the UK.
With the emerging technologies, innovation and creativity Matt helped countless entrepreneurs and existing brands harness the benefits of this new media landscape; advising, strategising, building front and back-end systems, and generally supporting ideas and enterprises where required, often from concept to sale.
Over the course of 15 years Matt’s clients included BBC, Virgin Atlantic, SKY, Macmillan Publishers and Maxell, among many others.
Matt successfully SOLD his shares in his original agency so he could establish his own Design Studio.
“Matt was brilliant. We needed advice on producing a new online brand strategy and he was with us every step of the way. Highly professional and fun to work with, it was a stress-free process. We were all delighted with the result!”
Amber Myers, Virgin Atlantic
In 2007, Matt Garcia established one of the first eBay Trading Assistants in the UK.
Relatively early days for eBay, not everyone knew how to use it successfully, or had the time. He believed in the eBay platform and considered ‘eBay assistance’ would be helpful for those looking to generate cash from selling home or business items, and he was right!
Famously featured in the movie ‘40 Year Old Virgin’, Matt’s ‘eBay Trading Assistant’ business was one of the very first in the UK and successfully SOLD after a 3 year development period.
“CTN World was a resounding success!
“Matt’s advertising creative was undoubtedly a major factor in support of the most important event in our calendar, and we are just thrilled at how effective it was.”
Cathy Tong, National Federation of Retail Newsagents
A keen reportage and music photographer in his spare time, in 2005 Matt decided to establish his own ‘London Daylight Studio’.
With an A-frame ceiling of windows, bringing tons of natural light into the space, the LDS was a unique space attracting many notable clients, including film director, Marc Foster, and Hollywood superstar, Keira Knightley.
A ‘hobby’ enterprise, Matt closed the studio in 2011 so he could use the space for ‘Total Boxer’, his concept of a ‘real’ boxing club ‘for everyone’.
