NEW YORK - Editor John Monte has joined Refinery in New York City, bringing with him a loyal ad agency clientele. He regularly works with clients such as Pepsi, GE, Toyota and MasterCard.

Monte admits that the studio's Avid Meridian equipment made the facility very attractive, as he can finish projects directly in the NLE. He is also excited about the opportunity of collaborating with Stitch Motion Graphics' artist Fred Ruckel and designer/After Effects artist Anna Minkkinen, who are located just one floor below.
