Hi! I'm Matthew Hershoff, and I am a social media marketer, writer, and musician. Over the last eight years, I've worked with dozens of brands, influencers, and artists to create dedicated followings and drive sales.

Ray Bull
Ray Bull has been one of my favorite clients because of their humor and willingness to act. I scripted and shot several videos for them - for sponsored posts (we worked with Magic Mind extensively), to drive ticket sales to shows, and generate music streams. We've experienced massive success together, racking up 15 mil+ views on IG alone. Over the course of our work together, we've paid special attention to keeping a consistently humorous and quirky tone based on the indie demographic we connect with.

Brand Deals
I've done several brand deals via my own TikTok page. Their success came through featuring products while addressing my community with memes, storylines, and inside jokes I established with them. Tootsie Roll, Crocs, and Warner Music are among my favorite partnerships. I've also done work with McDonald's, Takis, and several other brands in the snack space)

Stellar Kelli
Stellar Kelli was one of my first clients. We built her following to over 100K on TikTok in just under a month and we quickly took on brand sponsorships. We worked closely with Inked Magazine (as she was a tattoo influencer), doing interviews, lifestyle posts, and scripted posts. My favorite piece of content we created was a branded post in which Kelli featured a smart toaster she received as a promotional item. The content connected because it felt organic even though it was scripted.

Mons Vi
My first lesson in driving sales while posting in a broader "lifestyle" context came from pushing people toward my song, "Call Me What U Want." I established a meme based on my personal story of quitting cigarettes and then shifted the on-video copy to focus on my song. As a result, I successfully generated over 5 million streams, and the song got over 50 million impressions across social media platforms.
