Hi, I’m Matt. Creative Director at WPP’s flagship PR and Comms agency Burson. My work bridges the disciplines of communications and branding; two worlds that are often seen as distinct. For me this isn’t the case – being the branding lead in a comms business gives us a real edge – we create transformational creative work that both looks the part and tells it’s own story. Being part of a global network means I'm lucky to work with talented multi-disciplinary teams across geographies, cultures and sectors on a daily basis. I’ve pitched and won work on nearly every continent. My role encompasses: - Creative Director / Managing Director, Creative Strategy & Direction team - Creative Director, London Studio - Creative lead for key agency accounts - Branding lead for the network - Pitch and new business lead - Board member For the likes of: Ford, GSK, Haleon, Hitachi, HSBC, P&G, Spotify, Volvo
Burson is the global leader in communications, purpose-built to create value for our clients through reputation. We reinvent how reputation creates competitive advantage for our clients, so they can lead today and far into the future.
