Testimonials
We’re a new studio for 2024. So here’s what clients say about our Founder...
We deal with a lot of freelancers but Matt is head and shoulders above any of the other designers we have used. He is always the first person requested and people use words like, professional, talented, organised, pleasure to deal with, problem solver and a really nice person. If we could find another ten Matt Brunton’s it wouldn’t be enough.
We collaborate with Matt again and again because he always delivers high quality work, on time and without cutting corners. He's a real pro with in-depth knowledge and cares deeply about design and doing good work. I can't recommend him enough.
We knew right away that Matt absolutely ‘got’ what we were trying to do. He guided us through the brand creation process with a calm, confident energy that allowed us just the right amount of involvement as clients; not so much that we lost the brand essence and not so little that we lost our passion for the project… the result is a stunning, approachable brand that we are incredibly proud to share with the world, and we look forward to working with Matt going forwards as we develop and grow Six Connections.
Matt's dedication and expertise were highly essential to my project. His great professionalism not only resides in the set of technical skills he has to offer, but also in the way of listening and understanding the client perspective that ends up informing the choices throughout the process. He also displayed a great attitude to problem solving, making him a quick and professional person to deal with. Matt's collaboration was crucial to shape my vision and bring it to life and I'm grateful for that.
It was clear from our initial communication with Matt that we had found the perfect fit for our project. Matt’s knowledge of brand creation and development was invaluable to us. His drive and passion for our project and his determination to capture the exact essence of our ideas was outstanding.
Matt didn’t just take my ideas and deliver them back to me, he listened, refined, honed and delivered a brand that communicated my values far better than I could have imagined. His process of understanding me and my business was detailed and meticulous, as were the branding assets that were delivered upon completion of the project. I’m beyond happy with the results.
Founder
Matt Brunton,
Creative Director
Exactly 20-years after I started my first full-time job as a Designer, I founded
Studio Spielen to combine my passions for sport, design, and creativity.
Although the studio is new, I bring two decades of creative experience on high-profile sports and entertainment brands, having worked with the world’s largest companies and agencies (quite literally).
I believe design should be highly conceptual, not painfully trendy, and our commitment is to produce thoughtful work, centred on a big idea.
To celebrate the industry, I showcase notable creative and design-led sports brands in our newsletter and on my YouTube channel. I also teach thousands of students at one of the leading design schools online, Flux Academy.
Home is England’s North West (a global sporting hotspot) where the studio is based. Although we have a small local team, we have always operated on a remote-first basis, working with partners across the world.
Our mission is to help you tell stories that matter.
