Nomad Editing Company has added editor Rami D’Aguiar to its roster for representation in the U.S. and internationally spanning advertising and long-form content. His credits include brands such as Pepsi, Ubisoft and Nike. And his work has won awards at the Cannes Lions, Clio, D&AD, El Ojo and Ciclope competitions.
D’Aguiar is a frequent creative partner of PRETTYBIRD director Vellas, having collaborated on the Ubisoft spot “Ghost Recon” and Renault Stepway’s “Spy,” which won Gold at El Ojo for Editing. Even more recently, D’Aguiar worked with Vellas on the stirring short film “Inertia City,” which depicts the far-reaching societal harm of Sāo Paulo’s high levels of pollution and traffic. Created for Google, the United Nations, and the Tribeca Film Festival’s ‘#GlobalGoals’ film series, Inertia City is one of 10 shorts made by filmmakers from around the globe that promote the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
“In addition to his incredible body of work, I love the fact that he’s trilingual and can easily edit out of any of the Nomad offices,” said company partner/executive producer Jennifer Lederman. “Rami has a place in L.A., he works in NYC, he has a home in Brazil. He’s just used to the culture of editing where needed.”
D’Aguiar’s expertise and fluency in English, Spanish and Portuguese should prove valuable at Nomad as it develops virtual tools to accommodate its global clients. At the start of the pandemic, Nomad provided its editors with software for real-time video editing sessions with clients in any part of the world. D’Aguiar raved about the process, saying, “Although we cannot be in a room with our clients, we can still have virtual editing sessions. That’s been really successful in helping the editor to stay connected with the director and the agency team throughout the post process.”
Nomad partner Glenn Martin noted, “Although we have offices around the world, we are a small, nimble and tight-knit group. Rami is a wonderful addition to our family. Not only is he talented, he’s also very funny and approachable — he’s someone you just want to hang out with. And, it is always inspiring to meet someone who shares your passion for the work. Even before COVID, we had developed remote and international workflows that allowed us to collaborate with great talent throughout the world.”
Prior to joining Nomad, D’Aguiar was at creative studio Nice Shoes. Besides being an editor, D’Aguiar is a founding partner at Brazil-based gin brand AT FIVE London Dry Gin.
Nomad has bases of operation in Santa Monica, Calif., New York, London and Tokyo.
