Frank Rose
FRANK ROSE is the author most recently of The Sea We Swim In: How Stories Work in a Data-Driven World, published in 2021 in the US and the UK and described as "critical thinking for an age of pervasive media" by The Wall Street Journal. His previous book, The Art of Immersion: How the Digital Generation Is Remaking Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and the Way We Tell Stories, was a landmark work that showed how technology is changing the age-old art of storytelling. Sparked by a decade of reporting on media and technology for Wired, it has been called “a grand trip” by New Scientist and “a new media bible” by the Italian daily la Repubblica.
A senior fellow at Columbia University School of the Arts, Frank teaches global business executives as faculty director of the executive education seminar Strategic Storytelling, presented in partnership with Columbia Business School. He is also awards director of Columbia's pioneering Digital Storytelling Lab, where in 2016 he launched the annual Breakthroughs in Storytelling awards—the "Digital Dozen"—to honor the most innovative approaches to narrative from the past year.
