LANGUAGE: italian
LIMITED ACCESS: n°99 participants
How does a video work on YouTube? Why are some campaigns more efficient than others? Is there a creative formula that can guide us in producing our campaigns?
This workshop is devoted to the fundamentals of YouTube to create effective campaigns that engage the user and achieve business goals.
The second part of the workshop is devoted to discovering the categories of YouTube Works, the award that recognises the best campaigns on YouTube.
Giacomo Zanni
At the age of 20 he began to take his first steps in the world of television as a programme editor. He discovered a world, he discovered a trade. He attended the Civica Scuola di Cinema Luchino Visconti where, during his studies, he created a programme that would be broadcast on Rai5 (2 seasons), and a documentary for Sky Arte, "Attori o Corsari". In 2013 after finishing school, with colleagues he created the YouTube channel Zootropio. The channel’s first video "The 14 Stereotypes of Soccer", exceeded one million views in its first week. From then on he devoted his time to YouTube Zootropio, which in just over three years produced over forty branded content videos and commercials for cinema and television. In 2015 he made his first short film "Silent Love", which today boasts more than ten million views across the world.
Among his latest work he helped writer Roberto Saviano create his YouTube channel. Since 2018 he has been working at Google, today in the Creative Works team as a Creative Lead in support of brands and agencies.

STORYCOUNSELING: NARRATION IS TRANSFORMATION
Filippo Losito
Writer, lecturer, expert in narrative structure and lateral thinking
Writer, lecturer, expert in narrative structure and lateral thinking
TARGET: Creatives
LANGUAGE: Italian
LIMITED ACCESS: n°60 participants
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, the 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.
Filippo Losito
He has a degree in Philosophy, Modern Philology and DAMS. He graduated with a scholarship from the Holden School. He has published short stories in anthologies and magazines. He wrote the novel Daddy Cool (Compagine, 2014). He translated and edited the Italian edition of Stand-up comedy, the new American literary genre (Sagoma, 2016). For the screenplay of Abbiamo tutta la notte he won the "48 hours Rai Awards". He is co-author of 6Bianca, a six-part theatrical drama produced by the Teatro Stabile di Torino in 2015. He has written for live shows and television (Zelig Lab, Copernico, Comedy Central) and is one of the founders of Comedy Studio, the first school for stand-up comedy in Italy. He directed the format Cambio pelle ma non te (Real Time, 2018). He has coordinated projects for, Generali, Sky, Fox, Feltrinelli, Save The Children, Telecom, Juventus, among others. He has lectured at: Wired Next Fest, Salone del Libro, Festival della Mente. His recent publications: Stand-up Comedy (Dino Audino) and Fata e Strega (Edizioni Gruppo Abele), written with Carlo Freccero, finalist for the Estense award and Umore e pensiero laterale (Egea Bocconi). He developed the Storycounseling® method, which combines stroytelling, counselling and coaching.

Strategy: oxygen of ideas.
Valentina Bussolari, coordinatrice Centro Studi UNA
(coordinator UNA Study Centre)
(coordinator UNA Study Centre)
Creative effectiveness is under discussion. Planning is increasingly in the hands of machines. The sacrosanct attention to ROI intensified in the increasingly short term does not guarantee constant growth results for brands. 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.

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 STAR
The wonderful transition of video clips between past, present, and future.
Moderated by Giovanni Esposito – AIR3.
With Pepsy Romanoff, Marco Salom, Stefano Poletti, Marco Mucig: registi AIR3
With Pepsy Romanoff, Marco Salom, Stefano Poletti, Marco Mucig: registi 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.

A journey through the strengths and weaknesses of music libraries, their growth and the legal aspects of their use.
