I’m Matthew McParland, a British copywriter and creative conceptualist based in New York.
I like getting to the core of an idea and seeing where it takes me. Sometimes that means finding the line that brings a film poster together. Sometimes it means shaping the story behind a product launch, from the first creative conversations to the final copy.
My work spans entertainment, technology and brand communications, with projects for Disney, Pixar, Universal and Dyson. I’m happiest when I can get involved early, ask questions and follow a thought through to the finished work.
