NWC - Key Persons


Matt Brown

Job Titles:
  • Design Manager
  • Senior Designer
Matt's passionate about travel and takes the opportunity to experience new places and cultures whenever he can. He also enjoys sampling various culinary delights from around the world and often shares his recipes with the rest of the team. If he's not at home relaxing watching the latest TV shows and films, you can catch him trying to enjoy watching football (although that can be hard as he's a Liverpool fan). After graduating from Salford University in Manchester and honing his skills in infographic, data and visual design with our Director, Non Wood, at a previous agency, Matt went on to work within editorial and digital design producing multi-channel content. In his last role he produced creative solutions for live communications across the globe acquiring an impressive proficiency in interactive presentation design for internal comms and external B2B audiences. Matt has a wealth of experience in visual content, editorial and presentation design, as well as particular specialisms in infographic design and illustration.

  • Senior Designer & Animator
Outside of work you'll catch Sam running around after her children and dogs, planning the next family adventure and their synchronised outfits.

Sam also owns a small online stationery shop, creating print products with her hand drawn typography. After graduating in Graphic Design and Illustration Sam has progressed her design career in creative agencies across Manchester. During this time she's gained professional experience across versatile platforms, delivering solutions for clients across diverse industries. Sam has the balance of being meticulous yet creative in her style on whichever project she is tackling, however her passion for bringing content to life lets her proudly lead the animation facet of the team. Sam was looking for an agency where she could fulfil her love for motion graphics whilst also being in a modern, forward-thinking culture and she was thrilled to find exactly that at NWC.
