Matt McCarron is a screenwriter, Emmy-winning copywriter, and illustrator.
I’ve worked on projects for Apple, Google, Sesame Street, Squarespace, Coca-Cola, P&G and a bunch of others.
My career began when I drove to New York and lived out of my car so I could intern at the then-startup, Vitaminwater. Within a year, I developed the brand’s iconic voice. Within two, I oversaw all consumer-facing copy.
From there, I moved to Portland, OR, to participate in Wieden+Kennedy’s experimental school, W+K12.
I’ve worked full-time at W+K, Droga5, Squarespace, and Anomaly, and on board a 42ft sailboat crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Outside of advertising, I spent the past six years writing a feature-length screenplay called TEN CENT BEER NIGHT. Ron Howard called my storytelling “excellent.” Bill Burr said I was “pretty funny.” And (Oscar-winning director) Peter Farrelly considered directing it…..until he was offered a fully-financed film with a big-named actor attached. Ahhh, so close.
While writing, I worked as a creative director for Apple, Special Group (Sydney) and Google Brand Studio. I’ve also directed films for Apple, Uber Eats, and ANZ Bank.
My work has been awarded by the Emmys, Cannes Lions, One Show, Webbys, and D&AD.
