I'm Matthew Simmonds, Director of Marketing at Signature Financial Solutions, a Tampa financial firm with a 30-year history and a network of independent advisors. My job is to make every one of them easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to start with, and I ship that work daily: websites, brochures, presentations, video, and the campaigns that connect them.
Before SFS I ran growth marketing at Northern Wave Marketing, and along the way I founded two productized website businesses of my own, Toolbox Marketing Co for the trades and CoachKit Co for coaches. When a Florida equine insurance agency needed a brand from scratch, I built Kelstead.
The throughline: I work fast, I sweat the details, and I like proof. That's why this portfolio leads with before and afters instead of adjectives.
Websites, rebrands, one-pagers, decks, video, campaigns. First conversation is free and useful either way.
