  • Matej is truly exceptional at understanding both brand strategy and consumer psychology. He helped me with Beesmetic by providing invaluable insights on product design, branding, and customer perception – explaining in a clear and practical way how details like packaging, font choice, or product placement can make a huge difference in how customers perceive my brand. His guidance on rebranding, brand DNA, PR strategies, and content ideas was incredibly valuable.

  • As someone with experience in the public speaking world, I found the ‘Speak with Confidence’ program’s content incredibly valuable. It’s clear that it stems from real, extensive experience—not just copy-paste theoretical fluff. And then there’s Matej… the atmosphere he creates, the amazing real-life examples, and most importantly, he’s living proof that it works! A natural introvert excelling at what many consider an extrovert’s task.

  • Doesn’t matter if you’re new or an experienced public speaker, the ‘Speak with Confidence’ training helps you find things to improve. It surprised me how many things I still had to learn.

The Face Behind Hooman

Matej Podobnik

Founder & Chief Communicator

Hooman Communications wasn’t born in a boardroom—it came from a simple realization. After nearly two decades in the corporate world, Matej noticed something missing from business communication: the human touch. Everything looked polished, but lacked the connection that makes brands relatable.

Combining Matej’s strategic focus with a people-first approach, Hooman Communications was created to bring clarity, kindness, and authenticity back to the conversation. At its core, it’s about communication that’s real, impactful, and always human.
