Matthew Mockridge studied international business and management in Miami, FL, USA but returned to his home country Germany, to start and later sell what has been called „the facebook of live entertainment“ – He now gives catchy Keynotes about the whole thing (mostly wearing a cap and sneakers), for the likes of PHILIPS, RE/MAX, Lufthansa, MERCK and SHELL.
Matthew Mockridge is a next Generation Speaker, bestselling Author and serial Entrepreneur
Born into a family of actors, directors, musicians and comics, it is no surprise to see Matthew Mockridge dabble in live entertainment from a very early age. At only 28, the young entrepreneur has created one of the biggest electronic dance music touring giants, Europe has ever seen. His NEONSPLASH – Paint-Party® concept, a cross between Blue Man Group, Cirque du Soleil and a full on rave festival, rolled across the continent in record time and hit over 60 cities in its first 24 months. The company was incorporated from a 13m2 dorm room and mainly targeted university towns in its launch phase – no wonder people have been calling it the “facebook of live entertainment”!
Following up the craziness of this initial over-night success, Matthew Mockridge followed up with another two heavy-hitters. City Slide®, a 500m waterslide that runs through major European cities, as well as ZOMBIE RUN®, a 5km zombie infested obstacle course, are both on tour globally, leaving everyone with the same question: How?
In his bestselling book, “NEXT BIG THING – creating BIG ideas from scratch”, and in his primetime TV Show “START-UP!”, Matthew sets out to answer this question, deconstructing the mechanics behind uber-ideas (no pun intended), all while taking stabs at both dusty conventional creative processes as well as standard perspectives on psychology, motivation, leadership and recruitment.
An entrepreneurial yet heartfelt rough-guide and “real-world” paint-by-numbers approach to creating and running companies, cultures and campaigns of the next generation!
„This whole thing is the stuff of a movie script”
