Two Decades of Firsthand Ad Experience
Before Matt Koulermos founded AdWaken.ai at the beginning of 2024 , he spent two decades between his time as an Art Director at agencies including David&Goliath, Ogilvy NY, WongDoody, Crispin Porter + Bogusky– as well as a Creative Director at Meaningful Works and the Wonderful Agency.
Matt worked on two Super Bowl commercials for KIA while at David&Goliath, led a global campaign for FIJI Water and has been involved in dozens of high-stakes pitches over the years.
After speaking with multiple agency leaders about AI, one pattern became clear: top creatives are spending more time rendering ideas than they have to think of them. That insight led AdWaken to officially launch the AI Sprint Studio—focused on restoring time and bandwidth across the creative process.
