Matt Manlove , Brighton, United Kingdom

I have over 14 years experience in design, illustration and creative concepting and have worked on several award winning projects including 4 Cannes Lions.

I have led winning pitches for worldwide campaigns and implemented branding for bluechip global brands. I have managed teams inhouse and overseas dealing with complex brand challenges for brands big and small, from FMCG to finance. In addition to my design skills, I can illustrate to a high standard and have storyboarded several short films and many commercials.

I have always been fascinated by new ways to engage with people and my experience has given me a well rounded view of the creative industry. Beginning my career as a creative in an experiential agency gave me a good grounding in creative problem solving and I formed a good understanding of how to engage with people. Then working in publishing strengthened my understanding of design principals and production. Freelancing really diversified my skillset and working in advertising for the last 7 years has given me exposure to my biggest projects to date. I have produced award winning campaigns, updated global brands, and worked with some of the most talented people in the industry.
