Matt Riley

I believe Brands should be built on the vision that inspired them, the cultures they are consumed in, and the clues inside the products we create. I love the opportunity created at the intersection of culture and technology and I am passionate about bridging the divide between Brand and Product strategy.

Visa

From a plastic card company to contextual commerce

Brand Strategy & Positioning
Delivered Visa's 1st unifying global brand idea in a decade. Visa needed to correct perceptions that it was simply a plastic card company, so ubiquitous it was wallpaper. We evolved the brand into the engine of seamless, borderless, and dynamic payment technology.

Bacardi: Do what moves you

Brand Strategy & Positioning
Creative Strategy
Rum had lost its way. It was messy, sugar-fueled nights out marketed by fake pirates. I helped Bacardi to find a brand idea rooted in its most authentic use case. The dance floor. We invited the world to “ do what moves you”.

Values & Ethos

I have been fortunate enough to experience how working across cultures with a diverse group of collaborators leads to solutions that would otherwise have been ignored. Neol facilitates this opportunity.
