Built for
every brief.
Every audience.
From concept through to delivery, I bring together strategy, storytelling and craft to produce work that performs - whether that's a feature film campaign, a corporate launch or a full brand rollout.
Concepts, art direction, and campaign thinking that cuts through. I develop the ideas that become the work. Brand positioning that ensures every creative decision serves a clear commercial purpose.
Media relations, press campaigns and launch strategy across film, television and brand. End-to-end campaign management - from trailer drops to out-of-home, print and activation.
Social strategy and digital production that extends reach and drives measurable results. End-to-end video and content production - shoot, post and delivery to broadcast and digital specs.

How I Work
Creative that moves
at the speed of business.
From a single day for print creative to four weeks for full production - I move at the speed your project demands. Whether it's a campaign poster needed overnight or a full shoot and edit, my process is built around your deadline, not mine.
25 years across film, television, global manufacturing, telecoms and brand means I understand what creative needs to do - not just look good, but perform. Every brief is shaped by one question: what does this need to achieve? That answer drives every decision I make.
I have worked with independent film studios, broadcasters, global manufacturers, national membership bodies and investor relations firms across three continents. That breadth means I read a new brief faster, ask better questions, and get to strong creative sooner.
Great creative without strategy is decoration. I bring both. I plan and execute campaigns across outdoor, press, digital and broadcast. Sharper insight, faster briefs, better-tested ideas: I use AI as a strategic tool throughout - for audience analysis, message testing and campaign planning - so the thinking is stronger before it reaches the page. The result is creative that is not just distinctive, but purposeful. Every brief gets a strategic foundation before a single visual decision is made.
I have spent significant time working inside membership organisations and agricultural bodies at a senior creative level. These are sectors that demand warmth, trust and precision - serving audiences who care deeply about what they do. Generic creative does not cut it here: you need to understand the audience, respect the context and earn the response. I have done exactly that.
Print rewards people who know how to use it. Working alongside a trusted direct mail and print production partner, I plan and deliver campaigns that land in the hand - brochures, mailers, inserts and point-of-sale material built for response. There is a rigour to print that sharpens all other creative thinking: just the strength of the idea on the page. Done well, it cuts through in ways digital simply cannot.

From independent film studios and television broadcasters to global steel and manufacturing groups, national membership organisations and investor relations firms, I bring the same discipline, rigour and creative ambition to every brief - regardless of scale or sector.
Recognised for calm leadership, sharp strategic thinking and a hands-on approach to delivery, I have worked with clients across the United Kingdom, North America and Canada. My work spans print, digital, video, brand identity, campaign direction and art direction for photography and film. I also use AI as a strategic tool throughout my process - delivering sharper insight, better-tested ideas and faster turnaround without cutting corners on craft.
Matt is exceptionally creative and fast. He is professional to deal with. Since 2020, he has launched 12 advertising campaigns for multiple projects. The look is always eye catching and he has consistently understood the product - be it a movie or TV show. We at Film One Media are very thankful for his artistic direction.
