About me
I’m Matt McSweeney, a graduate of Advertising from Bournemouth University who is hoping for a career in business development, account management and client services. I have worked in a variety of different sales and marketing roles, developing strong interpersonal, organisational and technical skills.
During these various roles my passion for technology grew; it became increasingly obvious that it is the backbone of all business operations in the modern commercial landscape. As a result I have decided to use my skillset to find a role in which I can help grow business through strategic third-party partnerships and cutting edge tools.
Projects
- A Level Media CourseworkI developed a music video with my friend Jason Sell, establishing our locations and the prelimary intentions for each shot in relation to their spoken lines. I took a leading role of directing the film and was the sole editer as I felt it was important that it retain a certain feel created through the pace and sharpness of the offline and online editing.
Projects credited in
- JUST EATJust Eat campaign. A fresh & vibrant approach to the delivery service. Logo variations of the rainbow rays for different applications & formats. Above the line posters for the new vegan burger launch. Metro cover wrap to brighten up the day of weary commuters on the underground. The idea the jingle ‘Did somebody say Just Eat’ is sung when the paper is opened, bringing a smile to the commuters faces.

Door-to-door Salesman, Abel and ColeBenchmark Advertising
- Bournemouth, United KingdomFull Time
I applied for a job at Benchmark Advertising, which certainly alluded to the fact that they are purely a door-to-door sales team. I became a full-time member of the team, working Monday to Saturday every week with highly intensive that always included roughly two hours of sales training, a lot of travel time and a schedule developed by my team leader and myself (I was one of two others in his team and the other was his girlfriend) who worked very closely together to represent ourselves in conjunction with the various other teams in the office.

Golden Brick AwardBournemouth University
I was commissioned the task of developing a strategy in which I was to appropriate the best way to market surplus bricks of building sites. My research showed me the significance of the various hues that bricks have, which inspired me to promote the idea of rubbing these different hues together and creating beautiful pieces of art with the blended dust. Out of my entire year group of over a hundred people I won the prize for the overall best presentation and was thoroughly motivated to deliver very strong and impressive presentations from then on, feeling it may be a forte of mine.
