Editor Deirdre Bell has come aboard the roster of Nomad, New York.
Bell began her career in Chicago where she cut ads for blue-chip clients including Allstate, McDonald’s and United Airlines. She then moved back East to begin her career in NYC which included eight successful years at Red Car NY, where she worked with Nomad’s EP, Jennifer Lederman, and edited many campaigns for clients including K-Mart, Kohls, Advil, and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, exhibiting a talent for shaping a narrative and solving a tight, well-paced or music-driven spot.
Bell said, “I really love cutting documentary spots because so much of the shaping of the story happens in the edit suite. And I will never cease to be amazed by the way real people speak.”
About working at Nomad, she added, “I’m thrilled to be at a place where the craft of editing is so highly prized. Everyone is so welcoming and the opportunity to work with Jennifer Lederman again is almost too good to be true.”
Nomad editor and partner Amanda Moreau said of Bell, “She is a perfect fit for Nomad. I’ve been a fan of her work for a long time. She has a wonderful ability to craft compelling visual stories that pull viewers in.”
