    SANTA MONICA, Calif. --

    Christjan Jordan, who has cut award-winning work for Amazon (Lucky Generals), GEICO (Martin Agency) and Madden NFL (Heat), among others, has joined bicoastal Union Editorial as partner/editor. Last week, Amazon’s “Alexa Loses Her Voice” was nominated for a primetime commercial Emmy, adding to a list of acclaimed career credits for the editor (often known simply as Christjan) spanning Cannes Lions, AICE, AICP, Clio, D&AD, One Show, and Sports Emmy awards.
     
    Christjan’s latest work, GEICO’s “Longest Goal Celebration Ever,” in which a soccer player celebrates his winning goal by sliding endlessly around the field on his knees, enjoyed extensive play during this year’s World Cup coverage. The spot was helmed by frequent collaborator Wayne McClammy, for whom Christjan cut the Clio-winning #notspecialneeds spot for World Down Syndrome Day out of Publicis NY. 
     
    “Alexa Loses Her Voice” for Amazon–featuring cameos from Cardi B, Gordon Ramsay, Rebel Wilson and Anthony Hopkins–was the most talked-about campaign in the week leading up to the 2018 Super Bowl, earning over 1.5 billion media impressions, and then topping USA Today’s Admeter. The spot was viewed more than 43M times.
     
    “I love the craft, creativity and challenge of editing,” Christjan explained. “I like starting from the initial idea and working with every moment that’s been filmed, coming up with the best piece possible.” In addition to #notspecialneeds, powerful spots edited by Christjan include IN-Q’s gun violence PSA, directed by Unjoo Moon. 
     
    Union president/managing partner Michael Raimondi said of Christjan, “His dedication to his craft and desire to do great work drew us to him immediately. We knew from the minute we met Christjan that we wanted him as our partner. He shares our vision of the future and we are thrilled to start the next chapter at Union with him as a collaborator.”  

    After receiving his Bachelors in Communications from Southern Oregon University, Christjan served tenures as an editor at Arcade Editorial, and Cosmo Street Editorial and Rock Paper Scissors, turning out a stream of high-profile work for brands such as LG (directed by Traktor), Hotwire (David Shane), and Apple (Terri Timely). Prior to joining Union, Christjan was with Rock Paper Scissors.
     
    Of the Union partnership, Christjan said, “This is a great place with talented people who share my passion for the craft.”

    Stadium Signs Director Duncan Winecoff For U.S. Representation

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    Stadium has added director Duncan Winecoff to its roster for commercial representation in the U.S. Winecoff has directed campaigns for brands such as Porsche, BMW, Canon, Oura, Sephora, New Balance, McDonald’s and Faherty, among others.

    Raised between Nova Scotia and Ojai, Calif., in a family of Tibetan Buddhists, Winecoff has a diverse background which instilled in him a profound sense of authenticity and reflection. His journey to directing began in New York City, where he explored filmmaking alongside his brother, DP and photographer Stuart Winecoff. This collaborative, self-taught foundation has shaped Duncan Winecoff’s approach, blending insight with technical skill.

    Prior to joining Stadium, Winecoff had been repped by Object & Animal. He is an alum of SHOOT’s 2017 New Directors Showcase

    “Duncan’s work reflects the balance we strive for at Stadium--creative that connects on a deeper level while meeting the demands of modern production,” said Samy Mosher, founder and CEO of Stadium. “He’s got the vision, versatility, and a refreshing approach that aligns perfectly with our goals to elevate every project, regardless of scale. He’s the kind of talent that instinctively enhances every script and understands the art of collaboration.”

    Winecoff said, “Stadium is defining what production can mean in an era where audiences demand more connection and substance. I’m excited to be part of a team that values their role as a creative partner as much as I do and is dedicated to pushing creative boundaries while staying grounded in what the project truly needs.”

    Winecoff has already been awarded multiple projects with Stadium, including a forthcoming global campaign for Callaway Golf.
