Wild Manor has added editor Jessica Farmer to its roster. She’s worked with the likes of Vrbo, Infiniti, Ralph Lauren, American Airlines, and Fruit of the Loom, and has won an Anthem Award for her work with the World Surf League. Farmer was previously with New York edit house the now corporation.
After graduating from Northeastern University and American University of Paris in 2011, she moved to NYC to pursue her dream of becoming an editor. Not long after, her dreams became reality. She quickly began cutting spots for agencies like Mother and NBC, and was awarded a One Show Gold, an AICP NEXT Award, and a CLIO for her work with CP+B.
Farmer took her work on the road to tour with Davines, where she cut live music performances across the country. She was introduced to Wild Manor through her travels as well, during her many pit stops in Boulder. “Every time I was there they made me feel supported and welcome,” she said. “I decided to join the Wild Manor team because I love their energy and ethos — they are seasoned pros who are passionate about the creative process but also know how to make it fun. I’ve always wanted to be a part of a female owned/run company and saw this as a perfect opportunity to get involved with some really inspiring people.”
Farmer’s home base is in upstate New York from where she will work remotely via Wild Manor.
