Matthew W.
Senior Video Editor & Creative Strategist
Most editors focus on making videos look good. I focus on making videos achieve the goal behind them. Whether your goal is getting more views, improving watch time, increasing conversions, or building a stronger brand, every editing decision should support that not just make the video look fancy. I'm a Senior Video Editor and Creative Strategist with over 11 years of industry experience. I've worked with international brands, agencies, and influencers with audiences of over 11M+ followers, completing hundreds of projects across different industries. Along with editing, I help clients improve their content through creative direction, storytelling, pacing, motion graphics, and AI tools and workflows that make production faster and more effective. I don't just follow instructions. I think about what will make the content perform better and help you reach your goals. My work includes: • Short-Form Content (Reels, Shorts & TikTok) • Meta & Social Media Ads • AI content & editor • SaaS & Product Videos • Motion Graphics • Explainer Videos • UGC Content • Creative Strategy • YouTube and content editing. • Content Optimization My main tools are Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve for professional color grading. What you can expect when working with me: • Strong hooks that capture attention • Fast, clean, and engaging editing • Motion graphics that support the message, not distract from it • Clear communication and reliable delivery • Creative ideas when you need them not just edits If you're looking for someone who focus on quantity over quality, I'm probably not the right fit. If you're looking for someone who understands both the creative and strategic side of content and can help your videos perform better, I'd be happy to work with you. I'm always interested in building long-term relationships with creators, brands, and agencies that care about quality and results.
