Bi-coastal editorial company, Arcade has announced the addition of creative editor GrahamChisholm to their team. Chisholm brings a wealth of experience to Arcade and a unique perspective on the art of storytelling.
“I’m stoked to have Graham join our family,” said Arcade’s managing partner DamianStevens. “Graham’s ability to tell stories that draw in the viewer is amazing. His use of music, sound and overall editing style is very unique. Beyond that, he’s just a really great guy.”
Graham Chisholm’s career began in Montreal, Canada where he worked for three years before moving to Toronto to continue perfecting his craft. For over a decade, Chisholm nurtured relationships with a number of advertising agencies and brands, including Gatorade, LandRover, Budweiser, Ford, Chevrolet and The Toronto Raptors to name a few. He works closely with clients to create meaningful and effective campaigns, earning him several awards for his work including multiple Cannes Lions, Best in Show at the AICE Awards, Bessie’s, and the ADCC’s. Chisholm has become best known for his ability to tell compelling and persuasive stories, regardless of the brand or medium he’s working with.
“Graham’s influence and dedication on a project extends beyond the edit and into the finishing of the film,” noted MichaelLawrence, director of a Powerade spot that Chisholm edited. “In our case, he is involved in everything, a true collaborator on an intellectual level, as well as a gifted craftsman. Graham has earned my trust and heartfelt praise through our time working together and becoming friends along the way. I couldn’t recommend him more. He is a gifted storyteller and a great man.”
“It is such an honor to be joining the team at Arcade,” concluded editor Graham Chisholm. “A very proud day for me, I can’t wait to see what the future brings.”

The Arcade team is riding yet another wave of steadfast momentum this year, having just completed a music video for KendrickLamar entitled “Humble” and commercial campaigns for Chipotle, SouthwestAirlines, BudLight, AT&T, Ikea, Sonos, NorthropGrumman and more.
