Acclaimed Creative Director Matt Swinburne Joins Colenso BBDO

Colenso BBDO has further bolstered their creative leadership with the addition of  Matt Swinburne. 

Swinburne has created award winning work for Diageo, NZ Coastguard, NY Lotto, Toyota, Snickers and Barcardi, with his most recent standout campaigns Snickers’  Superbowl ‘Fix The World’, and Bombay Sapphire’s ‘Design Museum Supermarket”,  picking up multiple awards at D&AD, Cannes, Clio and 3 Gold pencils at One Show. 

Previously at Special Auckland, the multi-awarded creative has graced top global agencies including Droga & McCann New York, Mother and AMV BBDO where he  was creative director. 

Says Swinburne: “I’ve had a Colenso crush for a long time, so I’m very excited to be joining Si and the team on College Hill. They’re the masters of surprising work that’s  always insightful and entertaining. I can’t wait to help them make more of it.” 

Says Si Vicars, Colenso BBDO CCO: “Matt’s been a nemesis of mine my whole  career. His work has consistently given me the jealous sweats. From Snickers  Superbowl spots to installations for London’s Design Museum, he’s an incredible  thinker and maker. And he’s a fantastic human to have around. Along with Duncan Bone, Matt’s an important part of what we’re building at Colenso. We have a simple  aim of surrounding ourselves and our clients with the best talent in the world.“ 

Swinburne joins Duncan Bone, Hadleigh Sinclair, Kimberley Ragan, Dave Brady and  Si Vicars on Colenso’s creative leadership team.
