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.
They’re bringing their talent rosters with them to Odd Projects, including clients like chef/creator/Nyt bestselling author Joshua Weissman, musician Alex Warren (who has 20 million followers on TikTok), and adventurous YouTuber Mike Corey, the host of channel Fearless & Far.

And – as the name up above would imply – all the data comes from Gospel Stats. If you’re interested in learning more about Gospel – and which brands are sponsoring what creators on YouTube – click here.
If you’ve been tuning in to our Gospel Stats Weekly Brand Reports, you’re probably not surprised to see MrBeast in the #1 slot.

But what is different about MrBeast’s appearance this week is that it’s doubled.

Odd Projects has made three additions to its client roster. The talent management company has signed Jacob Christensen (aka Nakey Jakey), TikToker Aaron Murphy, and internet commentator Nathan Stanz.
The new signings will slot into existing Odd Projects divisions like Gaming, Commentary, Music, and Impact. Christensen’s channel spans several of those verticals on its own. The man known as Nakey Jakey got a boost when an episode of his web series Games That Should Bang went viral. Seven years later, his video essays discuss everything from video games to book fairs, and he also has his own music career. Last year, he dropped a debut album called Romcom on Spotify.
Stanz’s career has also traversed through multiple internet communities. He’s a former esports exec who established himself as on platforms like YouTube by commenting on creator drama and other topics. He’s also known for his frequent...

The last time Idris Elba appeared as a CGI anthropomorphic creature, it didn’t go well. Hell, the last time Sonic the Hedgehog was on the big screen, it didn’t go well. But the announcement that the actor would be voicing Knuckles in “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” has fans so excited that both “Cats” and 2020’s “Sonic the Hedgehog” have faded from memory – for the most part.
“The Suicide Squad” star broke the news on Tuesday when he tweeted a picture of Knuckles’ spiked fist with the caption, “Knock, knock…” Knuckles, full name Knuckles the Echidna, is Sonic’s friend and rival in the popular video game series. Elba’s casting lit up the Twitterverse almost immediately, leading to some rare unity on the social networking site.
