Odd Projects, the Los Angeles-based talent management company founded in 2020 by former Anonymous Content and WME manager Nate Ruff, has brought in Brian Sokolik as managing partner and Joshua Cohen (no relation to our Tubefilter co-founder) as talent manager.
Sokolik started his career in the mailroom at 3 Arts Entertainment and became a talent manager at Fullscreen before rising to Head of Digital at Authentic Talent. Cohen, meanwhile, was with Authentic Talent for 11 years, working first in unscripted and endorsements, and then moving into digital.
Both Sokolik and Cohen have “first-class relationships” in the industry, Ruff told Deadline.
