Cutting Room, NY has added budding editor Jamie Connors to their roster. He comes to Cutting Room after serving as an in-house editor at McCann Erickson, where he cut campaigns for such clients as Verizon FIOS, MasterCard, Sony Ericsson and Joe’s Crab Shack, among others. Connors brings an in-depth perspective on agency processes and sharp instincts as an editor that allows him to cut a wide variety of styles. Upcoming work out of Cutting Room includes a Dentyne campaign out of McCann Erickson.

Says Cutting Room Managing Partner Susan Willis, “We were so taken by Jamie. There is no one out there like him. No One. His talent is fiery and real. We are so happy to be able to bring him up.”

“I knew several editors at Cutting Room and everyone always spoke so highly of the company and the culture,” adds Connors. “It’s so great to join a company that is truly dedicated to growing the junior talent and sharing their insight.”

Brooklyn-native Connors earned a degree in Communications at Goucher College before returning to the city, where he landed an internship at McCann Erickson. His 6 years as an editor at the agency allowed him to work on a number of award-winning campaigns, collaborating with top directors in the industry.
