Matthew Swanson

You know when you’re watching a Matthew Swanson spot because your eyes start to open a little wider. A signature visual style, combined with Impeccable casting and pitch-perfect comedy. That pretty much sums up the Matthew Swanson trifecta. When 9 out of 10 people see one thing, Matthew will be the one seeing something completely different. He brings his quirky comedic sensibility to all of his work and his spots are all the better for it.
