Our purpose is to inspire and provoke origination. We are a high-performance, high touch creative company based in the heart of New York, driven by a set of core tenets that define who we are and how we operate.

Our body of work serves as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring creatives to forge something new, and for the established to elevate their craft. We believe in going beyond good; we strive for greatness. If it's subpar, we don't ship it. Our internal rounds are fueled by pride, and when we say yes, we commit to going all the way. We hold ourselves, our clients, and partners to the same uncompromising standard.

Everyone is responsible for everything. We understand the distinction between accountability and responsibility. Accountability is your job; responsibility is your care – your ability to respond. As we navigate the unknown, we act in a collective spirit, fostering a passionate crew where nobody is just a passenger. We care deeply about what we do together, forging connections that transcend roles.

Creating the things we care about takes risk. We embrace risk-taking as a catalyst for cultural shift, bringing this mindset to our teams, projects, and endeavors beyond our core business. We champion ideas from the edges of cultural consciousness, elevating the aspirational and the emerging. Our commitment is to constantly bring opportunities to the forefront, transcending borders and embodying innovation.

MATTE is in the relationship business. We believe in extraordinary individuals providing extraordinary service. Our crew is a welcoming ensemble of passion driven teammates who genuinely care about each other. This sentiment extends to our partners, originators, and clients. We build relationships founded on authenticity, trust, and a shared passion for creativity.

MATTE is a constantly changing work in progress. We embrace evolution, recognizing that those who never change their minds don't change anything. The future is unknown, and we commit to changing with it. Our journey is dynamic, and we approach it with a mindset of continual improvement and adaptability. We are never finished, always evolving, and committed to shaping the future of creativity.
