Alongside the release of Carter's new commercial for Barclaycard with Oliver he also has a new commercial for TSB with McCann in post.

Jack Goodwin at Kode commented “I met Matt early last year and was immediately drawn to his chilled attitude and loveable nature. He’s a truly nice guy and genuinely funny too. With some of our most loved comedy ads in his reel past and present, with Matt you get a director with a wealth of experience and an understanding of what’s current, so we’re very pleased to have him join the Kode roster.”
