Matthew Gore was born on a snowy Tuesday morning near the Susquehanna River — just kidding, bios written in the third person are weird.
I’ve worked in advertising & design for the last 18 years. To get in the door, I started as an associate account executive at Iris Worldwide (previously Pepper Global) in Chicago. Eventually I moved over the wall to our creative department, went to ad school, then landed at Ogilvy in Chicago.
I spent five years at Ogilvy learning from some talented creative mentors. Print, digital, mobile, social, manifesto films, experiential, stunts, mobile activations and, well, everything. Clients included SC Johnson (Glade, Pledge, Drano, Scrubbing Bubbles, Windex, Ziploc, Raid, OFF!), CDW, BP, Kimberly Clark (Huggies, Pull-Ups, GoodNites), Sanford (Sharpie, Expo, Prismacolor), Kraft, and Oscar Mayer.
In 2013, I brought my design & advertising experience to the world of NYC tech startups where I spent three years as the creative director of Bytemark. I helped design innovative solutions for mobile ticketing—including steering high-level product design, marketing, innovation, UI/UX & interface design.
That was followed by four and half years as a creative director at Ogilvy in New York on Nationwide and Comcast Business. I did a quick stint in the world of entertainment and LGBTQ+ culture at Lupine Creative as a Senior Brand Director for HBO Max and their queer brand, Human By Orientation.
And because even a boomerang can come back twice, I’m now back at Ogilvy New York helping to run Gerber and Corteva Agriscience. In all of my positions, I have excelled in turning high-level thinking into fully realized creative & strategic work. From broadcast to social to digital to experiential, I’m your guy.
