Matthew is a Jamaican who finds his way to the San Francisco office by way of Amsterdam, Utrecht, Minneapolis and Kingston before that. As a strategist at TBG, Matthew finds himself ever-inquisitive of behaviours and why they happen. Always observing, always asking questions, the world and life itself is his focus group. With a background in rhetoric and culture (BA) Matthew has worked in design and advertising his whole career, except for that one year before the great recession where he did an international MBA – forever changing the wiring of his brain; and finally getting a real sense of what clients have to think about. His most recent position before moving to San Francisco was with Naked Communications in Amsterdam where he worked for 3 years on global communications planning for adidas and Heineken.

He is also an avid sneakerhead, basketball player, and xbox gamer.
