Copywriter. Internet celebrity. Amateur Trombonist.
Yes. Yes. And Absolutely.
After graduating from the University of Michigan with a degree in Film/Video studies Matt began work at Doner Advertising as an associate producer. He pursued this avenue for 4 years before being pulled across to the copywriting department, his true love. While an integral part of Doner’s creative team he wrote television, radio, print and new media copy for the likes of Cox Communications, DelTaco, and Odwalla. In the summer of 2010 Matt left his beloved Detroit city behind for a new opportunity in the Big Apple, Matt is now employed by Digitas New York where he is a member of the Comcast Creative Team.
When not getting paid to have ideas Matt independently writes and produces Internet sketch comedy with his comedy troupe, ThesePeople. ThesePeople's videos have gotten over 125 million views worldwide and have enjoyed front-page features on YouTube, CollegeHumor, and Yahoo.com to name a few. Their sketch "Polaroid" was nominated by NBC.com for Viral Video of the Year 2006, but was beaten out by Conan O'Brien's opening to the Emmys. We have been told the voting was very close.
Matt is a 6'4'' Scorpio who enjoys Paleontology, baseball, and Karaoke-ing under the pseudonym "Clyde".
