STORYCOUNSELING® – NARRAZIONE È TRASFORMAZIONE

With Filippo Losito, writer, lecturer, expert in narrative structure and lateral thinking
Companies have always developed their own idea of the future. The future is a need and a central theme for human beings, especially in times of crisis. In this perspective, crisis at both an individual and collective level is an invitation to actively choose to open the doors to desired change. Crisis is at the heart of every story. The biological roots of storytelling enable us to understand how every act of communication is an act of fiction capable of producing a physical change in reality and in people. Here lies the counterfactual and transformative power of narrative. The construction of new narratives is a profound need for human beings and the most effective action that can be taken  to train the mind to aspire to and prefigure change. The workshop aims to use storytelling and its counterfactual power as a tool to generate new narratives of the future and help us understand how to anticipate events and rebuild, to achieve our desired scenarios in professional, strategic and personal contexts.

Strategia: ossigeno delle idee

Powered by UNA

With Valentina Bussolari, coordinator UNA Study Center
Creative effectiveness is under discussion. Planning is increasingly in the hands of machines.

A breath of fresh oxygen for more effective ideas can come from strategy. The workshop will illustrate the pillars of a strategic pathway and how the different output of a brand, media and digital strategy can connect to feed more effective and efficient creative development.

Il Serif, il Brutal e il Corsivo: usare i caratteri nell’era del pop digitale

With Francesco Canovaro and Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini, Type & Creative Directors, Zetafonts, with Francesco Guerrera, Chief Creative Officer Different and Advisor ADCI
In writing a message, the choice of typographic composition determines the expression of the communicative tone.

Just as verbal tone in conversation suggests intent, in visual communication, together with the type of copy, it is the typographic choice that intones the message and renders it effective. It allows you to best express the identity of a brand, the quality of a product or the concept of an event.

Serif, Brutal and Italics, with anecdotes and curiosities, will present numerous examples of the ways in which typography can be used to better inform and to communicate more precisely and effectively.

Participants will be provided with physical materials with which they will be guided in the creation of artwork on a specific theme.

Video raised the radio stars

Moderated by Giovanni Esposito, member of the board AIR3

With Pepsy Romanoff, Marco Salom, Stefano Poletti and Marco Mucig,  directors AIR3
Videoclips were born as a pure advertising form at the service of music (it still is), but over the years it has changed shape, first by “killing the radio stars” to create a real self-sufficient business model on social networks. They saved the record industry and revolutionized the concept of product placement to the point of contaminating viral content and fashion films. We are talking about the simple VIDEO CLIPS, which their pure and simple form have led to documentaries and mini series. We talk about it with some of the most active directors of the industry, with a reel that ranges from mainstream, to indie, from Liga to Sfera, from Vasco to Punkreas.

Le parole per dirlo: come i nuovi linguaggi stanno disegnando il futuro

With Beatrice Cristalli, linguist, and Chadia Rodriguez, rapper
Society and words have enjoyed a stable and very long relationship. One contaminates the other and vice versa, welcoming novelty and linguistic transformation, neologisms that speak about us and show how the direction of the future can be discerned in our way of communicating. Music, teen slang and social language are the traces of change and rebirth, which feeds on creativity. It is not true that the contemporary is more complex, we just have new lenses that allow us to read the nuances. And as we have always been used to doing, to know them we must name them. Together with Beatrice Cristalli, academic researcher into youth language and trap, and writer for Treccani.it, and Chadia, we will attempt to retrace the innovations that in music and language are designing the future.

New normal marketing is increasingly data driven: trends and emerging technology solutions.

Moderated by Andrea Cioffi, CEO and Partner Digital Dictionary, with Marika Barbanti, Client Director | Marketing Measurement | Nielsen Attribution
The way of the Media has undergone a great transformation in the last decade. 

Audiences are increasingly connected using multiple devices and digital platforms are now an integral part of our daily habits.

This epochal transformation has caused the shift and growth of marketing investments in digital media. 

The paradigm shift has increased the complexity that marketers face on a daily basis. In fact, the majority of Cmos agree that data play a fundamental role in this new scenario to understand the online behaviour of consumers and to be able to optimize the ROI of marketing activities. 

In this scenario, the Multi Touch Attribution platforms play a fundamental role in simplifying the complexity of the digital era and successfully addressing the 'new' marketing.

Il marito coi tacchi a spillo

With Stefano Ferri, journalist and communication consultant
A journey to the roots of crossdressing as a social but above all statistical phenomenon, the result of a fashion trend that is still ridden with taboos with regard to males: no one would ever think of defining a woman as a crossdresser for the sole fact that she wears jacket, trousers and moccasins. Vice versa, a man in a skirt and heels must face the judgment of a society unwilling to recognise his identity. Why are there men who wear clothes conventionally reserved for the fair sex? What moves them in their desire? All the answers in this talk are "filtered" by the personal experience of the speaker.

Un Europeo Meraviglioso

Powered by dentsu

With Alessandro Iraci e Alessandro Trolli, Gli Autogol, Alberto Bommartini, Head of Influencer Marketing, The Story Lab, Dentsu Italia, and Tommaso Fincati, Client Manager, The Story Lab, Dentsu Italia.
Two years in which football, sports, have changed. Their use, the involvement of the fans. Not the passion. A European championship that really lasted two years, during which the only thing that never changed was the desire for sport. There are a few things that connect like sport and music, few things connect people in the same way. Riding on highlights, accompanying the fans, creating trends.

By connecting people on topics they talk about on a daily basis, with wonderful strength. But the wonder is only true when you then win the European Championships. And it really happened.

Beyond the Voice

With Marco Salom, director, executive producer and composer, Alida Pantone, actress, film producer, film festival director, Francesco Altobelli, CEO Ondesonore Records, and Rosita Celentano, actress, presenter, and write
Clubhouse, the audio-only social network, is revolutionising the way we make new friends, networking, dating and also, in part, information.

It's wonderful to be with people with whom you've built a relationship only with your voice and have the feeling that you met them in normal real life. Or even that you’ve known them even longer.

Four virtual friends meet for the first time on the IF! stage to talk about the magical world of Clubhouse.

D.E.T.A. – European Department for the Protection of Androids presents “SIATE GENTILI CON GLI ASSISTENTI VOCALI

With Ermes Maiolica, President D.E.T.A. President D.E.T.A. (European Department for the Protection of Androids), Jacopo Masini, Spokesperson for the DustyEye group (Cronoviandanti), Andrea Rossetti, Lecturer at Bicocca University.
If we’re talking about good manners, human beings can still improve considerably in how we relate and interact with artificial intelligence. Every day we ask for help from voice assistants by barking orders: take me home, wake me up at 7.15, find me a restaurant, remind me of grandma's birthday otherwise she’ll be very offended

Dozens of microdialogues, without ever mentioning words such as "thank you" or "please" - a sensitive algorithm might come to resent it..Reasoning in terms of universal roboethics, we shall outline a wonderful possible future for humanity and artificial intelligence, where it is not only good manners that unite us, but a general feeling of kinship. Alternatively, we could abandon ourselves to one of those dystopian futures described by last century’s science fiction. For our part, we believe it is more profitable to share a desk with an android colleague than to be facing him in the opposite trench.
