Thanks for stopping by.
I've been called everything from Mega-Cabbage to Mata-Polish to Maty-(insert whatever you want here). Anything goes, but it's really Mata-kevich. What can be easily said? I'm fortunate. I get to call this creative thing I do a career. Best idea I've ever had,
I think.
And there's probably a good chance I've done it. I've worked at both large and small agencies, on national and regional brands across many categories. Places like Leo Burnett, Ogilvy & Mather, Laughlin Constable, Chicago Creative Partnership, Houlihan Madison Most and HY Connect (formerly Hoffman York). On brands like Altoids, Pillsbury, Maytag, Sealy, Sears, Friendly's Ice Cream, Wolverine Boots and Shoes, Harley-Davidson, Carson Pirie Scott, Bob Evans, Navy Pier, Chicago Bears, Wrangler, Museum of Science + Industry, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
I've worked on pitches and ran them. Won some, missed on others. Most recently, I creative directed HY Connect's latest wins for Bakers Square and Village Inn Restaurants, as well as MB Financial Bank.
Awards: Yes.
But what's on my desk right now is much more important to a lot more people than what's on my shelf.
Hope you enjoy the work as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
Anything else you'd like to know? Let's talk.
