At the end of the day, it’s all about human-to-human communication.I believe in the power of ideas and the application of common sense. If an idea can’t be integrated across all media and communication touch points, if it doesn’t make the client’s product, service or brand stand out, and if it doesn’t change the world – then it’s simply not good enough. I’ve created products, launched brands, developed marketing and communication strategies and produced just about every possible creative solution that supports a fully integrated idea.I’ve encouraged Singaporeans to eat healthy and the Dutch to drink a beer. I’ve helped Chinese citizens to appreciate European craftsmanship and explained that retiring early is possible with good financial planning to the good people of Hong Kong.I’ve won many awards all over the world (for both effectiveness and creativity) and I have been recognized as one of the sharpest creative minds of my generation (which is nice). I’m happiest when I’m engaged, and I’m motivated by seemingly impossible challenges.My name is Matthew Phillips, and I’m available to make a positive impact within your company and with your clients.

  • Exit Communicatie
    Creative Director - Exit Communicatie
    Exit Communicatie Jun 2013 - Jan 2020
    Weert, The Netherlands (Just Outside Eindhoven!)
    Initially employed to work on several key projects in a freelance capacity, I was soon offered a full-time position as Creative Director. The company owners quickly recognized the potential I brought to expand their services beyond the local area and deliver world-changing ideas for regional and international clients.I quickly integrated into the agency, executing the owners' vision to build a culture of creative and account servicing excellence. My task was to develop a very junior and inexperienced team, with an almost impossible KPI: to have the company recognized at an international award show. I achieved this within the first 12 months, winning the coveted RedDot Design Award.Within months of starting, we were winning pitches for globally recognized market leaders and growing existing business exponentially. I transformed the company into a full-service, highly creative, strategic marketing powerhouse. By taking industry best practices, refining them into solid business strategies, and adding my unique flavor from years of experience, I created a recipe for success.
