BIO

A living dichotomy, Matt has aspirations to save humanity through the creative skills he has learnt from the advertising industry. He has a deep belief in human creativity, and a great hope in its ability to communicate solutions to the issues modern society faces. He began his PhD study mid-2025 and is looking into the role advertising has played, and will play, in the metacrisis humanity faces.

 

Matt has been lecturing Advertising and Brand Creativity at AUT since 2018 and joined the teaching team full-time in 2020. Matt brings a wealth of experience from roles in and out of the advertising industry and across several creative disciplines. He is also a proud graduate of AUT Ad School and is at his best when helping students shape their ideas.
