Dick Gordon has come aboard NY-based integrative creative company Carousel as sr. editor. He’s spent the past 15 years at Spot Welders where he served as partner/editor and turned out campaigns for the likes of Geico, Amtrak, Volkswagen, ESPN, Heineken and Budweiser.
Gordon has contributed to assorted memorable projects, including collaborations with such noted directors as Joe Pytka on Anheuser-Busch’s “Applause” Super Bowl spot, Simon McQuoid on “Enemy Weapon” for Xbox’s Halo 3, and Traktor for MTV’s The Jukka Brothers. “It’s amazing to remember that all those spots started with me sitting down and screening that first frame of film which began the whole process,” Gordon recalled. “I feel lucky that every day still starts with that same sense of possibility.”
According to Carousel managing director Dee Tagert, Gordon’s hiring reinforces the company’s ongoing mission to bring together the brightest minds and most valuable talent from agencies, production and post. ”We have assembled a collaborative group of incredible talent that can execute everything from soup to nuts, so it was natural to have someone with Dick’s caliber in the mix. He, like the rest of us, sees the changing times as a great opportunity.”
