Matt is one of the hardest working and diligent creatives there is. He’s got the talent, the skills and the optimistic attitude to take on any of your marketing challenges.

     Matt is a true pro in every sense of the word. He can handle any assignment, steps up when the pressure's on, always delivers a multitude of ideas no matter how big or small the assignment - and presents well to clients. His optimism and true team-player attitude is an asset to any project. I would recommend Matt if your looking for a creative who knows what they’re doing and enjoys doing it.

     Matt is one of the most talented and nicest guys in the business. Always super solid thinking, always compelling executions and always, always, always the most positive guy in the room. Lemme tell you, we needed that sometimes. Matt also happens to be very politically minded, and we all know how similar politics and advertising can be. Just a straight-up good, smart guy.

     I had the pleasure of working with Matt for several years on the adidas golf business. During that time he demonstrated an ability to challenge what we did while also driving creativity for the brand and at the same time having a clear understanding of the audience and the nuances that come with it to ensure we remained relevant yet inspirational. Matt also had a huge amount of passion for his work and the success of our company and this was clearly evident in all that he did and contributed to the success of our marketing activity.

     Matt is that rarest of advertising talents. A creative who can deliver the biggest and best ideas and still be sane and a pleasure to work with. I worked with Matt for three years and have know him for many more and I highly recommend him.

     Matt Bogen never met a brief he couldn't crack.

     I have known Matt for many years. He was a key member of one of the most talented creative groups I have ever been lucky enough to work with. As one of my top creatives, I could always count on Matt to come through. He's a great writer, a smart thinker, and a good guy.

     I had the privilege to work with Matt successfully on many different assignments, and I experienced that Matt Bogen is way more than just a copywriter. Taking his excellent writing skills, his incredible sense of wit and humor and his tremendous experience aside for a moment, he has also been a never-ending source of inspiration and laughter for the agency. Matt takes care, not just for the work but also for the people around him, which is a value and attribute I can't appreciate enough.

     I had the good fortune of working with Matt at two different agencies. At both places he didn't not only plus the work, but he made the culture of the agency 10 times better. We worked as partners on Mitsubishi while @ BBDO LA and produced a
bounty of work for the Japanese carmaker. This was my first foray into the world of car advertising and I learned volumes from working with the seasoned vet in the industry. I count myself lucky to have been paired with someone who made learning the ins and outs of the car business feel effortless.

     A few years later we both re-surfaced at Kastner & Partners, the LA arm of the Austrian-based Agency tied directly to Red Bull. We worked together as well as he having more of a CD role to the entire dept. Everyone in the agency benefitted from his concise thinking to his endless humor. Together we both produced work worthy of the Red Bull moniker.  Matt is a good creative and an even better man.

     Matt is not only an extremely good writer, he knows he's good. Which, far from making him arrogant, makes him one of the most relaxed people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Even under the most brutal of deadlines, he consistently manages to come up with ideas that are both strategically sound and creatively extraordinary. But perhaps the most compelling testimonial I can give is that I originally hired Matt for a three-week stint, and he ended up staying with us for over 6 years.
