Brand Activation

Throughout my career, I've been the driving force behind impactful brand activations. From my time at Clash Magazine, where I spearheaded project delivery for brands like Levi's, Ben Sherman, and Right Guard, to my work at Secret Cinema delivering the deals struck by Katie Davidson and Alex Ward, seamlessly integrating brands into immersive narratives, I've consistently delivered exceptional results and thrilled brand clients. 

Here's a glimpse of the brands I've activated in collaboration with commercial teams, using narrative design, audience journey design and creative production to unite brand, platform, artist and audience seamlessly.

Matthew J Bennett - Senior Creative Director

I’m a Senior Creative Director and Experience Designer. I thrive when transposing much loved stories or brand new tales from idea into living and breathing reality. Whether reimagining iconic worlds for Disney, Netflix and Universal or shaping original tales from scratch, I specialise in transforming stories into powerful, lived experiences.


At Secret Cinema, I wrangled a team of eleven brilliant creatives, building vast playgrounds of music, performance and design. Since 2024 as a freelancer, I get to collaborate widely - from psychedelic food magicians Bompas & Parr to disinformation satirists Sage & Jester, glossy world-builders at Condé Nast, and immersive sports pioneers Rematch Live to name just a few.



Ten years in, and my drive has only grown - to craft places where audiences don’t just watch a story, they live and play inside it.
