Cutters Tokyo has promoted assistant editor Aika Miyake to the position of editor. The announcement was made by film editor and Cutters Tokyo managing director Ryan McGuire and studio EP Timo Otsuki.
As an assistant editor supporting McGuire, Miyake had as one of her first major commercial projects the Nike Baseball "The Pledge" spot for Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo, which went on to win the Grand Prix and the Craft Award for Best Editing at Japan's 2013 ACC Awards. Over time, the relationships with W+K, Beacon Communications and other agencies and directors have grown exponentially in Japan, Shanghai and well beyond.
Last year, Miyake joined McGuire to co-edit W+K Tokyo's Facebook campaign – the brand's first major advertising campaign in Japan. More recent campaigns she has edited include work for Uniqlo, Nike and Pampers. The Pampers "Mom's First Birthday" film produced for Beacon Communications earned AdFest, AD STARS, New York Festivals and One Show honors, and at the Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity recently held in Singapore, brought home one Bronze Spike in the Direction category, and more Bronze Spikes in the Digital, Film Craft and Media categories.
Miyake’s latest work is another partnership with W+K Tokyo, the first-ever campaign in Japan for Booking.com.
