Crew Cuts has promoted Craig Rohrer, a seven-year veteran of the company, from jr. editor to editor.
Most recently, Rohrer worked on the comedic Spectrum “Monsters” campaign with creative agency Something Different. “This campaign has been the most fun for me,” stated Rohrer. “Each one of those spots can start and end in 20 different ways, so I really enjoyed finding the funniest bits and then cutting them all together.”
Born in New York and raised in Florida, Rohrer attended the University of Miami where he studied business management and was the captain of the university’s wakeboarding team. It was during his time in the latter capacity that he had his first exposure to video editing, filming his team’s competitions and cutting the footage. He grew to love editing, springboarding him to a postproduction career.
