    Editor Matthew Hilber joins Nomad

    Monday, January 12, 2026

    Global postproduction company Nomad has added Matthew Hilber to its roster of editorial talent.

    The Portland-native began his career at JOINT, Wieden+Kennedy’s editorial arm, where he worked for 15 years, cutting spots for Nike, Coca-Cola, Old Spice, and KFC. His Super Bowl commercial for TurboTax, starring Humpty Dumpty, ranked among the best on the Big Game that year, and his spot “Tough Love” for P&G aired during the Paralympic Games and won a Cannes Silver Lion.

    Influenced by his interests in sports and comedy, Hilber cuts with an instinctive style that aims to touch the emotional core of every story. Working with directors such as Neal Brennan, Jake Syzmanski, and Clay Weiner has provided opportunities to sharpen those comedic instincts while having a good time doing it. “At some point, we all got into this business because it was fun,” said Hilber, “so I try to keep that in mind during the editing process. I think that sort of positive energy shows up in the work.”

    Hilber’s recent commercials span such clients as Fox Sports (a spot which won a Sports Emmy), Chili’s, Amazon, Lowe’s, and State Farm, featuring pro athletes, comedy legends, and A-list celebrities alike. He also cut a Girl Scout Cookie video for his daughter, which helped propel Tagalongs to a top 3 finish among friends and family.

    On the long-form side, he has edited with zombies for LAIKA, toured Thailand with Facebook, and did all the burnouts with Hurst Racing Tires. His narrative and documentary credits include the dark comedy short Bronzed, which premiered at SXSW, the political satire The Last Undecided Voter, and an episode of The Thread, featuring Brazilian pianist and composer Henrique Eisenmann.
