MATT

RUDD

Digital creative director, designer and copywriter - helping brands cut through the noise online by harnessing the power of a good story, well told.

Watch showreel Watch showreel

Everyone wants to be heard. The online landscape is a noisy one, so connecting with an audience is no easy task.


With a rare blend of hands-on expertise in design, video and copy spanning almost two decades, I help brands deliver value-driven messages by offering a holistic vision that elevates every project, providing creative solutions that disrupt the static.


If you want your message to sing rather than get lost in the noise, perhaps I can help you, too.

CREATIVE DIRECTION THAT TRANSFORMS

Starting off down any path involves a set of choices. Making the journey a successful one involves ideas, and choosing the right ones. An expert guide is what you need to define goals and then smash them.


I turn blank canvasses into compelling stories. I can come it at basecamp, help you build strong concepts, then elevate your brand in a way that fits your vision.


WEBSITE DESIGN THAT PERFORMS

What makes a great website? One that has clear form and function - built for a purpose and executing that purpose in the right style.


I make great websites, so you can spend more time making great products and services.


COPYWRITING THAT CONVERTS

Words that connect with people on a deeper level, and inspire them to keep reading, then start doing.


These are my kind of words. This is my kind of copywriting.


PRESENTATIONS THAT CAPTIVATE

Emotions fuel decisions. Stories fuel emotions. Tell great stories, inspire great feelings, influence more decisions.


I help people tell engaging stories, visual and impactful ones that inspire positive responses.


BRAND IDENTITY THAT CONNECTS

Vision made visible - love to see it. I’ve a long record of building coherent and impactful branding and re-branding.


From finding your voice through to crafting a full brand toolkit, it’s covered - all in the name of building meaningful connections with your audience.


GRAPHIC DESIGN THAT ATTRACTS

It's a well-worn phrase: great design involves stripping away everything that's not essential to the communication task.


I do this while retaining soul and character.


VIDEOGRAPHY THAT INSPIRES

Videos are a proven way of capturing attention. Holding and harnessing that attention is key.


I produce, direct and edit videos that inspire action.


MOTION GRAPHICS THAT ENERGISE

Images can be powerful, but in an age where attention is fleeting, adding animated touches to creative is a sure way to bring dynamism.


I craft thoughtful and effective motion graphics to add energy, flare and direction.

CASE STUDIES

IN-DEPTH LOOK AT DELIVERED CAMPAIGNS

I can honestly say that I've never worked with someone who has the range of skills that Matt has (a motion designer who writes? A videographer who loves graphic design? A doer who's also a thinker?). He's also a joy to collaborate with, and a very positive force to have in a studio. If you're looking for help with a creative project, I thoroughly endorse this very down-to-earth Renaissance man.
