Matthew Luhn spent 30 years at Pixar and Disney creating stories that generated billions at the box office, working on Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Cars, Up, and Ratatouille. Before joining Pixar at 19, he animated for The Simpsons after Steve Jobs personally recruited him to the then-unknown studio.
Matthew now consults with Fortune 500 companies, including Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Adidas on brand storytelling and team development. He authored The Best Story Wins: How to Leverage Hollywood Storytelling in Business and Beyond, and recently wrote and directed the award-winning animated short Sprite Fright. His client list spans Facebook, PayPal, Salesforce, Target, and BMW.
Matthew teaches executives and marketing teams how Pixar's story development methods translate directly to business communication. He breaks down how to capture attention in eight seconds, structure messages that people remember, and connect emotionally with customers and employees. His approach turns abstract concepts into concrete narratives that drive action, using the same techniques that made Pixar films resonate with global audiences.
Attendees learn to build compelling brand stories, lead teams through storytelling rather than data alone, and apply creative problem-solving methods from Hollywood to business challenges. Matthew provides frameworks participants can use immediately to improve presentations, pitches, and internal communications.
Organizations book Matthew when they need teams to communicate more effectively and create messages that cut through noise in crowded markets.
