“We brought Matt and Luke in to help us raise the creative bar at the agency. What a great move. Their know-how, conceptual thinking and staying power during a prolonged creative development period to crack a new Ford brand campaign was impressive to say the least. They are nice guys too; dedicated, conscientious and good at what they do. If you’re looking for a senior creative team or creative leads, you should seriously think about giving Matt & Luke a call.”
Paul Yull and Adrian Birkinshaw, ECDs at Ogilvy UK on Ford UK
“Over the years I have worked with many CDs, some very good, some good and some it is best not to describe, but Matt and Luke are right up there. They are great thinkers, always happy to take on what is thrown their way, and have the roll up your sleeves, can do attitude that makes my job a whole lot easier. The last 12 months have given us lots of projects to work on, small, medium and large, they have always dealt with them regardless of the size of the project and the budget, with a 100% professionalism. Teams like working into them because they are always clear in their direction and inspire creativity.”
Neil Kaas, Creative Services Director, McCann Health
“At The Red Brick Road I made Matt our Head of Art, it was long overdue to be honest”.
Paul Weinberger, ECD, TBWA
“Luke ‘gets it’. As a writer, he’s able to get to the big idea fast and then pen laser-sharp copy and scripts to tight deadlines. As a CD, he works well with account teams and planners, whilst also getting the best out of his creative team… he is also an accomplished presenter and has led some of our biggest presentations and pitches under high-pressure with very demanding clients - the highlights for me have been working together from the start on ‘Samsung Launching People’. A global campaign from Cheil HQ that continues to win awards, including two Cannes Gold.
Wain Choi, Chief Creative Officer, Cheil Worldwide
“Is Matt any good? Well, put it this way, I started an agency with him...”
Sir Frank Lowe, Founder, The Red Brick Rd
“I had the pleasure of working with Luke at AMV BBDO some years ago. He's one of the nicest and most open humans I've met. And that's just him. A proper grown up and considered writer with a very sharp wit and intelligence about him. Listening to him sell a creative idea into clients makes you understand just how good he is. Wish I still worked with him.”
Simon Pedersen, Commercial Director, Studio Private
“Genuinely good art directors are few and far between, and Matt is genuinely very good”.
Justin Tindall, ECD Leo Burnett/M&C Saatchi/The Red Brick Road
“Luke is great creative problem solver who comes up with big ideas consistently and quickly. He also writes beautiful copy. A grown up with lots of experience, he presents articulately and with real engagement. Luke is also fun to work with and was a popular addition to the department. I have no hesitation in recommending him.”
David Harris, ECD, Deloitte UK
“What can I say about Luke that hasn’t been said yet? Maybe that he rolls with the punches and emergencies of the advertising industry better than anyone I've ever worked with. That in the face of total sh*t storms, he comes back up and hits right back with compelling and well-written ideas. As a boss, he keeps his team motivated to fight back the injustices of the chain of command, to push forward and get things done. Luke is a swell gentleman, a top creative and a legit leader.”
Alberto Rodriguez, Global Senior Copywriter, Cheil Worldwide
“Luke is a great leader, articulate thinker and a great writer who’s mentored many of the copywriters in the office. His presence is missed in the office. He will be a great asset to any creative team.”
Jax Jung, Global Creative Director, Cheil Worldwide
