“A true team player and brilliant storyteller. His ideas brought a fresh perspective and new life to our work. He caught our blind spots and helped us identify more efficient ways of working. By nature, Matt is collaborative, passionate, and very easy to work with. But what I love about him the most is that creativity is central to all his work, even operationally focused problems. A producer’s dream.”
“It's been a great pleasure to work with Mr. Heck all these years. He joined our company in its infancy and left it in its adolescence, and along the way he contributed to its growth like few others.
Matt's an excellent modern creative because he's first and foremost a great craftsman, with a maniacal attention to detail, but he's also a great, solid businessman who understands deeply the needs of a brand. On top of this, he's also a really nice person to work with, smart, fun, highly empathetic and always really calm in the face of "adversity". We'll miss Matt around here. And we're jealous of those who'll get a chance to work with him in the future.”

“Passion for storytelling, brimming with smart, witty, thoughtful and fresh ideas, plus always going above and beyond the brief, are just some of the many qualities that make Matt and his crew at OTOH an absolute joy to partner with. They make us look good. Thank you Matt.”

“Matt is a legend of 72andSunny Amsterdam - someone who helped build the office. Matt has many skills as a CD, Designer/ Art Director and human.
Matt has a base layer of strong design chops and conceptual ability that makes him a great creative. This also lays the foundation for him being an excellent Creative Director. He thinks brand first, is open to all kinds of input, but also has the strength of character to protect ideas and keep them whole. This, coupled with Matt being a very decent dude, makes him a great leader.
Matt has done some great work with us at 72 - on Axe, Carlsberg, Samsung and Smirnoff, where he was also part of the core team that won the global business. Matt is welcome back at 72 any time he fancies it.”

“Matt was our first overseas hire. He arrived when we were just "a room full of dudes" and helped the agency grow from 15 dreamers to over 100 staff. Along the way he created some of our most awarded work, which has helped us to be named ‘Agency of The Year’ a number of times since 2008.”

“I like folks who care, question and obsess over the detail of everything from brief until case study, so I really like Matt.
He's an incredibly decent bloke who's always doing that bit more than is required long after everyone else has left. There's not a creative department worth working in, who wouldn't appreciate having him.”

“Extremely nice, and extremely talented. Two very sought-after qualities that are hard to find in our industry – and to find them both in one person – that's Matt.”
