BURBANK, USA // From Panama to Los Angeles, Matt Sample has spent nearly two decades working with some of the biggest brands and agencies in the world.

Matt founded the Los Angeles-based creative agency; hi5.agency. As President and Chief Creative, he leads a team of integrated storytellers who continue to push the envelope for their bold entertainment and brand clients. In 2017 hi5.agency was named mid-sized agency of the year by the Shorty Awards and they continue to take the work seriously -- not themselves.

Off the clock, Matt is known as DJ Type-A: a notoriously deep crate digger with a fetish for original Hip Hop print 12"s from the late 80's and early 90's.
