The challenge

Markforged made remarkable technology that was difficult for outsiders to understand. The company needed a more compelling way to show what its printers could make and why it mattered.

The work

I joined as an in-house creative leader, learned from engineers, sales, product, HR and leadership, then built the studio, hired and trained the team, and created a programming system serving the whole company. We developed customer stories, product launches, sales and trade-show materials, employee features and projects like Tensilemania, an engineering competition turned into a live sporting event.

What came out of it

A repeatable creative capability used across sales, marketing, recruiting and internal culture, with reported $500K+ annual agency savings and 148% organic YouTube growth.

Matt led this work in-house as Markforged’s creative lead. Figures are client-reported.
