Arcade Edit–which was launched in L.A. in 2008, working ever since with clients on the East Coast–has more formally extended its geographic reach with the opening of a New York office led by executive producer/partner Sila Soyer and editor/partner Jeff Ferruzzo, who were both formerly with Outside Edit + Design, New York.
Ferruzzo's work has been recognized with multiple AICE and HPA honors on behalf of such clients as Audi, Old Navy, MLB and Miller64, as well as Dos Equis' "Most Interesting Man in the World" campaign. He brings a fresh creative perspective to his work, combining editorial and design talent with humor and wit. Ferruzzo's most recent projects include campaigns for Crown Royal, Verizon, Chase, ESPN, Durex and Jaguar, collaborating with directorial talent such as Steve Miller, Wayne McClammy, Tim Godsall, Paul Middleditch, Chris Sargent and Brian Billow.
With nine-plus years experience in the New York postproduction market, Soyer began her career as an editor and worked as a producer on the agency side as well as for production companies.
Arcade is an editorial collective and partnership between managing partner Damian Stevens and editors/partners Kim Bica, Geoff Hounsell and Paul Martinez. Its roster of talent also includes editors Will Hasell, Christjan Jordan, Nick Rondeau and Greg Scruton.
Arcade's national body of work includes commercials, music videos, branded content and short films. Its recent projects include Jay-Z's video for "Picasso Baby", the Dodge Dart campaign featuring Will Farrell as Ron Burgundy and Samsung's new, yet nostalgic Galaxy Gear campaign.
