Bicoastal editorial company Arcade has brought editor Graham Chisholm aboard its roster for global representation. This marks the first time he has been repped in the U.S.; he had been previously been handled in Canada by Married to Giants through which he won an AICE Award last year in the Best of Toronto category for Sport Chek’s “All Sweat is Equal” out of agency Sid Lee.
“Graham’s ability to tell stories that draw in the viewer is amazing,” assessed Damian Stevens, Arcade’s managing director. “His use of music, sound and overall editing style is very unique.”
Chisholm’s career began in Montreal, Canada, where he worked for three years before moving to Toronto to continue perfecting his craft. For over a decade, Chisholm nurtured strong relationships with assorted advertising agencies and brands, including Gatorade, Land Rover, Budweiser, Ford, Chevrolet and The Toronto Raptors. He works closely with clients to create meaningful and effective campaigns, earning him several awards for his work including multiple Cannes Lions, Best in Show at the AICE Awards, Bessie’s, and the ADCC’s. Chisholm has become best known for his ability to tell compelling and persuasive stories, regardless of the brand or medium he’s working with.
“Graham’s influence and dedication on a project extends beyond the edit and into the finishing of the film,” noted Michael Lawrence, director of a Powerade spot that Chisholm edited. “In our case, he is involved in everything, a true collaborator on an intellectual level, as well as a gifted craftsman. Graham has earned my trust and heartfelt praise through our time working together and becoming friends along the way. I couldn’t recommend him more.”
Chisholm is in the midst of working on a new project at Arcade for Adidas via ad agency 72andSunny. He earlier completed his first project for Arcade, a short film about “LA2024,” also via 72andSunny, promoting Los Angeles’ bid for the 2024 Olympic Games. The Arcade team is riding yet another wave of momentum this year, having just completed a music video for Kendrick Lamar entitled “Humble” and commercial campaigns for Chipotle, Southwest Airlines, Bud Light, AT&T, Ikea, Sonos, Northrop Grumman and more.
Arcade’s talent lineup includes Chisholm, Dave Anderson, Kim Bica, Kyle Brown, Jeff Ferruzzo, Will Hasell, Geoff Hounsell, Sean Lagrange, Paul Martinez, Nick Rondeau, Greg Scruton, and Brad Waskewich.
