Welcome Matt | Airbnb
We created Airbnb’s first-ever Tier 1 social series 'Welcome Matt' to establish an authentic and highly engaging cultural connection with our audience, with Matty Matheson and New York Nico teaming up to learn the beauty of the sport and find common ground with the world’s game – alongside travel & food – being the common thread.
Developed concept, scripted, and oversaw execution of this multi-city short-form video series bringing fans from around the world together in FIFA World Cup host cities. Building on Airbnb's "The World Is Meant To Meet" campaign, "Welcome Matt" served up 25 episodes over the tournament's 40 days and garnered over 50 million views.
