Sugar23 Hires Douglas Rushkoff as Futurist in Residence
Sugar23, the company founded by Oscar-winning producer and manager Michael Sugar, is looking to the future.
In a bid to have an edge in the media space, the banner has hired thought leader Douglas Rushkoff to act as futurist in residence, the company announced Tuesday.
“We are thrilled to bring Doug in to the Sugar23 community and assist us and our clients to think through our approach to media and technology, both as story elements in their work and platforms through which they deliver it,” said Sugar in a statement. “We all have the responsibility to consider the social, cultural and ideological impact of our collective work on society as we confront tremendous civilizational challenges.”
Per the company, Rushkoff will serve as “a sounding board and professor for the firm, helping clients who are looking to understand the greater contexts around what they are doing, to develop greater congruence between purpose and practice, or to develop a more rigorous approach to their work.”
