Some work & personal features.

Meet Matthew: a South African-born Creative Director in LA with almost 2 decades of global ad experience. He's been lucky enough to learn from and work with some of the industry's finest at places like Ogilvy, TBWA/Chiat/Day, and RPA. And now runs creative for Vrbo at Expedia Group, after juggling projects for Expedia, VRBO, and Hotels.com for their cross-brand function.

A proud member of Adweek's “Creative 100” and an awards judge, he’s been lucky enough to win awards from the major international advertising awards. When he’s not making ads, he’s making music with buds. In a previous life before coming to LA to live, the stars aligned and catapulted him and his band across the globe to the legendary Rancho De La Luna recording studio in Joshua Tree, after becoming the first Africans to fully fund a Kickstarter. The band didn’t make it. Thankfully advertising is alive and well.

Thanks for stopping by.
