Kid Sister, an editing duo consisting of Niles Howard and Emilie Aubry, has joined the roster of Work Editorial for global representation. Howard, born and raised in Detroit, and Aubrey, who’s from Bordeaux, France, are now base din Los Angeles.
After the pair coincidently left their former companies at the same time–Howard was at Rock Paper Scissors in Los Angeles and Aubrey was at Division in Paris–they both cut their teeth as young freelance editors in L.A. When a mutual friend introduced them for a professional project, they quickly realized that they shared the same taste, style, and workflow. From the very beginning, it was a natural, organic collaboration. Skilled at bouncing ideas off of each other, they work incredibly well and efficiently. After collaborating as a team for the past four years, they are now ready for the next stage of their career at their new roost, Work.
Jane Dilworth, Work founding partner, said of Kid Sister, “They work together seamlessly and have a wonderful to and fro in the edit. Individually they are brilliant and creative people and the four eyes make for some amazing pieces of work–they are also great people!”
Marlo Baird, Work EP in Los Angeles, cited Kid Sister’s work ethic, hustle and dedication to craft.
Kid Sisters’ credits span such global brands as Adidas, Spotify, Facebook, Amazon and Reebok, the edit duo has collaborated with artists including Beyoncé, Cardi B, Moses Sunmey, Paul McCartney, and Post Malone.
Kid Sister hits the ground running at Work with a new Instagram campaign for Ogilvy NY and a piece for Facebook celebrating Black History Month, “You So Black” directed by J.M Harper at Park Pictures and performed by Theresa tha S.O.N.G.B.I.R.D.
