My core

20+ Years of Creative Direction

I’m Matt Jones, a creative director, writer and creative leader with more than two decades helping brands discover what makes them distinct. Having worked and led global advertising agencies in the UK and Europe, I've now set my sights on startups and more interesting 'boutique' challenges. I’ve led creative work for global brands including Carlsberg, Porsche, Mini (BMW), ECB, Microsoft, Mars, Cadbury, HSBC, Vodafone, Omega Pharma and Hiscox, as well as adventurous challengers like Cotswold Outdoor, Oxfam, Playdoh and Legoland My approach is simple: start with a powerful idea, build a clear strategy around it, and bring it to life across every touchpoint. I’m drawn to the curious and the unexpected, but always in service of the truth of a brand.
