Fusion92’s Future Series Hosts Mark Achler

Yesterday, Fusion92 hosted a new Future Series segment with guest speaker Mark Achler in our Chicago office auditorium. It was amazing to see our clients, vendors and employees fully engaged by Mark’s insightful reflections and anecdotes. For those who weren’t able to attend, here’s what you missed.

As a former leader at Apple and senior vice president at Redbox, Mark is an icon in product innovation and product launches. He is managing director of MATH Venture Partners and teaches entrepreneurship at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and is also a frequent speaker, resource and ardent champion for the entrepreneurial community as a mentor for TechStars and Chicago Tech Academy.

Mark’s talk, “Empathy Rules,” outlines three steps to integrating empathy into business: understand that it’s not about you, do your homework and bring a gift. Empathy at its core is the awareness of the feelings and emotions of others. In business, the most successful people are those who put the needs of others before their own.

The Future Series is an hour of learning, interaction, innovation and revelry. It focuses on topical trends, new technologies, innovative concepts, breakthrough industries and more. As innovation is at the heart of everything we do, it’s crucial that we continually tackle new concepts and become subject matter experts in everything around us. 

The Future Series is an active and living example of our dedication to our core, curiosity. It's through programs like these that Fusion92 solidifies its position as the most sought after marketing innovation agency in the United States.

We look forward to seeing you at our next Future Series event. For more information on The Future Series and to see upcoming events, please visit: www.fusion92.com/future-series. We hope you can make it to our next one!
