Wanted Films sign director Matt Follows

Wanted Films have announced that director Matt Follows has chosen them for commercial representation.
Follows started his career as an advertising copywriter in 1996. During his time agency side, he worked in London, Amsterdam and the United States at many of the world’s leading advertising and communications agencies including M&C Saatchi and the acclaimed Wieden + Kennedy.
Throughout this period he wrote advertising campaigns for some of the industry’s most prestigious clients including Nike, British Airways, Honda, Heineken, Coca Cola and EA Games, winning many of the industry’s most coveted awards – including Cannes Gold and Silver for British Airways and a D&AD Pencil for Nike.
In May 2003, Follows left full-time advertising to focus on directing and screenwriting. Having already written and directed a short film, an internet viral for Runner’s Need which was a Cannes and Viral Awards Finalist, and an extreme sports documentary at Wieden + Kennedy, Follows signed to 2am films as a writer/director for commercials, film and television.
Follows joins from 2am films hot on the heels of former creative director Beverly Fortnum who has already won two campaigns since her arrival at Wanted at the beginning of May.
