We are an independent creative agency built specifically for sports and lifestyle brands. Our work has won multiple awards (from Clios to Sports Industry Campaigns of the Year), we have been Agency of the Year several times over, and we are one of the most exciting sports businesses in the country.

Our clients are some of the most recognised and prestigious global brands in sport and lifestyle and include Uefa, The International Cricket Council, Armani, Clinique, Budweiser, ATP Tour, England Football, England Rugby, England Cricket, to name a few.
We’ve launched fitness equipment, kits, and nutrition brands. We’ve created new competitions, leagues, and tournaments – as well as rebranding, revitalising and repositioning existing ones. We’ve sold out multiple World Cups and European Championships, pushed women’s sports forward (we created the Lionesses), driven participation, and led campaigns for equality and against discrimination and drugs. We’ve worked up close and personal with some of the most iconic sports stars and sports teams on the planet, shooting campaigns all over the world.
At MATTA you can expect a fast-paced, but relaxed atmosphere, where everyone is passionate about sport in some way. We believe happy and healthy people produce the best work – which is why you’ll get private health insurance, regular team away days – and generous annual leave.
We believe sport has the power to change the world. Come and work somewhere where, whatever you do – it matters.
