Format Matters – Storytelling Beyond Content

Today, storytelling is no longer just about content, but above all about format. Winners are those who create the most engaging formats, which requires creativity, knowledge of social platforms, and storytelling skills. Communication is increasingly intertwined with entertainment, which is why it’s essential to know how to craft formats for brands. Formats that enhance the brand’s proposition and engage audiences like a TV series, a song, or an entertainment talk. This talk will cover how video podcasts for brands are born, companies bringing their formats live (for example, in theaters), storytelling in-store or outside stadiums (like Heinz). It will also explore events, books created to tell a company’s story, and UGC campaigns involving creators and brands. After looking at early examples—did you know “Funiculì Funiculà” was one of the first branded content pieces in history?—we’ll examine case studies that revolutionized seemingly unchangeable sectors (Kings League transformed football, Fantasanremo introduced gamification to music) and learn how to write a format, from idea to execution.

Small Budgets, Big Results: How AI Could Be a Game-Changer for Niche Sports

In an increasingly competitive sports landscape dominated by major investments, Artificial Intelligence stands out as a key resource for smaller organizations, often disadvantaged by limited financial means and low visibility. This talk will provide a general overview of AI applications in sports, with a specific focus on how advanced technologies—now accessible even with modest budgets—can help close the gap between mainstream and niche sports. From marketing to scouting, from promotion to athletic performance, AI today enables niche clubs and federations to achieve results that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. Through concrete examples and future scenarios, the session will explore the opportunities, strategies, and challenges that AI technologies offer in driving exponential and sustainable growth for lesser-known sports, helping small organizations become major players.

Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience: What Changes When the User Becomes an Algorithm?

Neuromartech is already here: it’s not a dystopia but a new market. The user becomes an abstraction, our digital twin lives experiences on our behalf, and it’s an algorithm that gets emotionally engaged with content created by another algorithm. What exactly is Neuromartech, which companies are driving it, what solutions are already available on the market, and what risks arise when we remove humans from the Customer Experience equation? As the Director of the International Neuromartech Observatory, I will present unique data and insights on this emerging market, and offer the audience some reflections on Ethics in AI.

What Truly Makes Content Memorable?

Over the past decade, content production has undergone a radical transformation: we have shifted from creating videos designed for people to producing content optimized for algorithms. Today, platforms and artificial intelligence influence every aspect of communication, leading brands and agencies to sacrifice quality and value in favor of immediate performance metrics. In this talk, we will explore the delicate balance between creativity, technology, and strategy, answering a crucial question: what truly makes content memorable? We will discuss how to return to content marketing based on real value for the user, capable of creating impact and connection without succumbing to the fleeting logic of engagement for its own sake. This speech is designed for marketers, brand managers, and content creators who want to rethink their content strategies, rediscovering the value of creativity and authentic storytelling in a data-driven era. Through concrete examples, industry insights, and ethical reflection, we will learn how to design content that leaves a lasting impression, going beyond vanity metrics.

Piccole abitudini per grandi cambiamenti: l’accessibilità dei documenti

L’accessibilità digitale non riguarda solo siti web e app: anche documenti, presentazioni, PDF ed email sono parte integrante dell’esperienza utente. Spesso sono proprio questi materiali a creare le prime barriere invisibili. In questa sessione, a partire da piccoli gesti quotidiani, esploreremo buone pratiche semplici da applicare, che migliorano la qualità dei documenti digitali e l’esperienza di chi li legge, li naviga, o semplicemente cerca di capire meglio un’informazione. Perché l’accessibilità si costruisce anche (e soprattutto) un dettaglio alla volta.

Empathy vs. AI: The Tactical Skills That Make You Irreplaceable in an AI-Driven PPC World

When a top-performing PPC account was on the verge of being shut down but ultimately wasn’t, it wasn’t the data that made the difference; it was a conversation.
Does this sound familiar?

In a world where AI handles the “how,” this talk is about the “why” only you can answer. Based on a decade of real PPC stories and practical tools, we’ll unpack the human skills that still move budgets, teams, and results. From conflict management to data storytelling and cross-team influence, you’ll leave more intelligent, sharper, and irreplaceable than ever.

Non era il mio piano, era il mio destino: da ingegnere a voce per chi non ha voce

Una laurea in ingegneria biomedica, una vita “giusta” sulla carta. Ma la felicità è arrivata quando ho seguito la mia missione: parlare di cani di assistenza, di salute mentale, rompendo il silenzio e accendendo speranza, contro ogni pregiudizio. Oggi sono una content creator, un’autrice, e una voce per chi si sente perso. Perché a volte la vera rivoluzione è cambiare rotta — e scegliere se stessi.

La Ricerca come soluzione per prodotti Antifragili

L'ambiente naturale da un incendio cresce più rigoglioso di prima. Una start-up da un fallimento rinasce più forte e consapevole. L'antifragilità è la caratteristica di un prodotto o un sistema di trarre beneficio dallo stress, diventando migliore e non venendo travolta. Come possono le tecniche di ricerca portare a prodotti, digitali e non, antifragili, quindi sempre migliori? Lo speech, a partire dalla triade fragile - robusto - antifragile, non solo presenta le fondamenta e le motivazioni di questa tesi ma anche quali tipi di ricerca possono portare a prodotti che resistono a passare del tempo e si evolvono con le esigenze del mercato. Il tema è dedicato diverse figure, in particolare chi si occupa di design (UX e UI Designer), di marketing e di sviluppo. Queste figure possono imparare il valore della ricerca, come condurre un progetto e i suggerimenti per raccogliere dati di valore.

Prompting for Social Media Strategists: Why It’s Still Essential (and More Than Ever)

In this talk, we’ll debunk the myth that “prompts are no longer useful” and walk through, step by step, how to write effective prompts that truly improve results on tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and more. This is a hands-on session focused on the daily work of those who create strategies and content for social media, both organic and paid. We’ll explore the connection between prompts and platforms, with concrete examples for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn, following the latest updates from each channel. We’ll also look at how to save time by creating prompts that are reusable, adaptable, and organized into repeatable workflows — from captions to insights, editorial calendars to competitive research. It all starts with a well-crafted prompt, built with method and strategic vision.

The Future of Travel in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Travel has always been a deeply human act—driven by curiosity, instinct, and emotion. It’s through travel that we test ourselves, make choices, discover who we are, and decide where we want to go.
Artificial Intelligence increasingly searches for us, inspires us, suggests, translates, guides, books, photographs, and reviews… often before we even realize we need it.
The journey, once a lived experience, now risks becoming an automated process. So the question is no longer just about tourism, but something deeper: Are we still choosing? Or are we getting used to being chosen? In an age where technology no longer merely assists us but begins to anticipate us, it's time to pause and reflect—not only on what it means to travel, but also on what it means to decide, explore, and live. Let’s uncover together the opportunities and paradoxes of AI-enhanced tourism.

Who Really Tells Your Brand Story? Spoiler: It’s Not You

No matter how much you try, study, and plan every detail of your brand, there will always be someone outside your company telling your story for you — and they’ll do it their own way. In the world of retail and distribution, it’s often other players — stores, store managers, agents, promoters — who speak about your brand. With their own words, content, and style. The problem? The audience listens to them.This talk explores the flaws and strengths of a fragmented communication model: how it originates, how it evolves, and — most importantly — how we can turn it from a weakness into a strategic asset. The solution isn’t about control, but about consciously choosing where to let go.

Ma che cazzo stiamo facendo?

Ci hanno detto che dobbiamo essere sempre presenti, pubblicare ogni giorno, seguire i trend, adattarci agli algoritmi. E nel frattempo abbiamo perso tutto. Abbiamo perso la capacità di pensare con la nostra testa. Abbiamo perso il coraggio di dire cose scomode. Abbiamo perso il senso di ciò che conta davvero. Abbiamo venduto la nostra autenticità per un pugno di like. 🔥 Questo speech non è motivazionale. È una fucilata in faccia alla retorica del content. 🚨 La content economy è diventata un sistema tossico che ha trasformato tutti in servi dell’algoritmo. Un mondo in cui la qualità è sacrificata per la quantità e il pensiero critico viene sostituito dal politically correct. 🎤 In questo speech dirò la verità. Il content marketing è diventato una prigione. I valori sono stati sostituiti dall’ossessione per l’engagement. Il buonismo ci ha rotto il cazzo. 💬 Voglio vedere chi ha il coraggio di ascoltare fino alla fine.

Essere creator nel 2025 e obiettivi per il futuro

Per essere un content creator serve essere un bravo comunicatore, catturando l’attenzione dello spettatore in una finestra temporale minima. Il dono appartiene a chi crea un interesse che poi sfocerà in una community fedele che, se coltivata, porterà a fenomeni di influenza. Non pensiamo che sia tutto dovuto, che i numeri siano al centro di tutto. Al centro di tutto c’è un lavoro di consapevolezza, di studio e di dedizione per rimanere a lungo periodo in un mondo che vive di brevitas.

Predictive Analysis of Creatives: Data at the Service of Performance

How can we provide clients with reliable, objective insights to help them optimize their digital content? To ensure that creatives are effective for social media promotion, we can apply predictive analysis using artificial intelligence tools — interpreted by social advertising specialists. Managing the creation of creative assets while balancing the technical requirements of platforms with the aesthetic and branding needs of companies is possible, as long as we let data — not gut feeling — guide the process. We'll take a look at some example cases together.

Following Trends Is Not a Strategy. Or Maybe It Is

In digital, strategy and tactics constantly influence and blend into each other. A strategic idea can inspire tactical actions, while a successful tactic can redefine the strategic vision. But beware: confusing the two is risky. In the fast-paced world of trends and quick fixes, it’s easy to lose balance and mistake reactivity for planning. In this talk, you’ll discover how to recognize the boundary between them and how to use tactics without betraying your strategy. Or maybe not.

The Blurring Line Between Discovery and Search — and How Companies Can Leverage It

Today’s buying journeys—whether completed online or in physical stores—rely on two key moments: discovery and search. Discovery is about surprising shoppers with products they didn’t even know they wanted. Search helps customers find products they already know they want. However, with evolving tools and increasingly conversational search experiences, the boundary between discovery and search is becoming blurred, sometimes leading to the “messy middle” effect described by Google. At the same time, this creates new opportunities for brands willing to innovate with a balanced mix crucial for e-commerce success. How can brands and retailers strike the right balance between these two? How can search evolve from a purely functional tool for finding what’s needed to a functional driver that also inspires and sparks discovery? Drawing from practical case studies of well-known and emerging brands, this talk will offer guidelines and actionable strategies to harness these synergies and gain a competitive edge.

Margini Digitali: minoranze e diritti, rischi, opportunità nella vita digitale

Per chi ha sperimentato la vita sulla soglia, ai margini, al di là dei confini della norma, il digitale ha significato una rivoluzione: la possibilità di scoprirsi oltre le narrazioni dominanti e connettersi senza limiti. Oggi che il digitale è alla base delle nostre esistenze e rappresenta potenziali sconfinati, quali sono le opportunità e le ombre per chi si riconosce - o viene riconosciuto - come parte di una minoranza?

Un'attivista in brain rot

Oggi abbiamo un termine pronto per descrivere qualunque cosa, forse perché di base c’è la necessità di farlo, inserirci in una casella per sentirci di appartenere a qualcosa, trovare a tutto una spiegazione, una giustificazione, un effetto causa-conseguenza. Ma non potrebbe essere tutto molto più semplice invece? Non siamo generazioni X,Y,Z, siamo persone che governano degli strumenti, non il contrario, anche se vogliono farcelo credere e forse in parte ci piace proprio crederlo.

Where once the loudest voice won, now the paths to success are broader. It’s no longer about popularity or niches. Popularity is a matter of niches.

Driving Intelligence: a benchmark for AGI

In this talk, I undertake a dive into two ostensibly unrelated—and potentially profoundly consequential—technological developments of the twenty-first century: Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AVs are designed to navigate complex real-world environments without human intervention, while AGI represents a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) endowed with human-level cognitive abilities. I do this specifically because I advocate that progress towards full vehicular autonomy stands as a novel and precise benchmark of humanity’s progress towards AGI.

Dal gioco al lavoro: il mio viaggio autentico nei social

Nel mio intervento racconterò il mio percorso personale e professionale nel mondo dei social, partendo dagli inizi: da quando, ancora giovanissima e senza gli strumenti di oggi, mi approcciavo a questo mondo in modo del tutto amatoriale e spontaneo. La mia forza è sempre stata la naturalezza e l'autenticità: non ho mai creato un personaggio, ma ho semplicemente mostrato chi sono. Parlerò dell’importanza che hanno avuto alcune figure adulte nel supportarmi all’inizio, e di come sono arrivati le prime ADV e le prime collaborazioni, segnando il passaggio da passione a vero lavoro. Racconterò di come ho costruito un rapporto genuino con la mia community, della gestione della comunicazione con i fan, e di quanto sia stato fondamentale mantenere coerenza e rispetto. Affronterò poi il tema dell’evoluzione: dopo i primi anni ho iniziato a studiare il settore, rendendomi conto che non basta la visibilità per durare. Molti si sono persi per strada. A quel punto, ho capito l’importanza di avere un team solido, di curare anche i contenuti organici, e di ampliare il mio orizzonte professionale. Da qui, la svolta: la radio. Un mondo che mi ha appassionato e che mi ha aperto nuove porte, come il Summer Festival e il Capodanno al Circo Massimo. Infine, rifletterò sulla mia crescita, non solo lavorativa ma anche personale. Oggi sono una donna diversa rispetto a cinque anni fa. Racconterò come le esperienze vissute — anche grazie a progetti importanti come Wing and Waves — mi hanno formata, e come sono cambiati anche gli strumenti: l’intelligenza artificiale, le app di montaggio, le chat. Anche se li utilizzo, continuo a credere che la vera chiave resti la creatività umana.

What are the KPIs of a SERP Domination strategy that doesn’t rely directly on organic traffic? And why is this crucial for the future of online search? The SERP Domination project aims to answer these questions while also considering the impact on business outcomes.

Rich AI, Poor AI: Use Cases, Practical Examples, and Proven Methods on How to Use (and How Not to Use) Artificial Intelligence Systems for Data Analysis

In his book Instructions for Becoming Unhappy, philosopher Paul Watzlawick explains how people tend to unconsciously engage in self-sabotaging behaviors that lead them to unhappiness. Similarly, today it is equally easy for marketers and web professionals to use AI in data analysis activities unconsciously or indiscriminately, with harmful consequences for their business and clients. In this talk, I will show objectives, practical uses, and methods to safely and effectively leverage Artificial Intelligence systems in specific Digital Analytics activities serving marketing and advertising. From data enrichment to gain more complete information about website or ecommerce audiences, to correlating different data sets to launch better online campaigns, to optimizing tables, reports, and dashboards to extract new audience segments and prepare more profitable offers and marketing campaigns, and more.

The hidden infrastructure of effective AI implementations

We've moved past the era of simple prompts and into the age of sophisticated AI integration. Behind every successful AI system lies an invisible infrastructure of decisions that most organizations discover too late. This session maps the terrain beneath the surface - from the technical components to the interconnected web of data governance, integration architecture, and adoption dynamics that determine whether AI creates lasting value or expensive disappointment. From data preparation approaches that balance quality with speed to governance frameworks that enable rather than constrain, leaders and practitioners will gain practical insights for building AI capabilities that adapt and evolve with organisational needs.

In this talk, we will explore how to best integrate creators and influencers to turn their participation into genuine added value.

Beyond the Algorithm: How Disruption® Drives Success in Digital Branding

In a world obsessed with optimization, where algorithms dictate strategies and small improvements are celebrated, brands risk becoming prisoners of convention. But optimization, no matter how efficient, is not transformative: it’s just doing the same thing better. True growth and real breakthroughs don’t come from perfecting the existing system—they come from breaking it.

Il futuro ha bisogno di autori intelligenti

La creatività è in crisi? Forse sì, ma non per colpa dell’intelligenza artificiale. Oggi strumenti come ChatGPT non stanno sostituendo l’ingegno umano — lo stanno amplificando. In questo talk, Nikola Greku esplora la convivenza tra intuizione e automazione, tra spontaneità e prompt. Un viaggio che parte dall’esperienza personale, attraversa i social media e approda in aitalia.info, un progetto nato per raccontare l’AI in modo accessibile ma anche per accompagnare le PMI con formazion e soluzioni pratiche. Perché la vera rivoluzione non è solo tecnologica ma anche culturale. Riguarda tutti — dai creativi agli imprenditori.

E-commerce: The Business of Complexity (and Those Who Turn It Into Complication)

Thanks to the rise of the SaaS model—pioneered by Shopify—it’s no longer necessary to complicate things to build even complex e-commerce projects. You can tackle projects with varying degrees of complexity without adding unnecessary layers. Agencies no longer need to chase artificial complexity to justify the margins they were used to with “complicated by nature” systems. Today, it’s possible to build solid, scalable, and high-performing projects that free up the client’s budget for what really matters: investing in the business, not technical maintenance. However, those adopting the SaaS model must avoid a strategic mistake: replicating old logics that tie clients to problems the cloud was supposed to solve.

GenUI, and the Evolving Role of Designers

A major shift is on the horizon for UX & UI design. Emerging technologies like Generative UI and zeroUI will soon move interfaces beyond static designs—creating AI-driven, real-time experiences that adapt to users and their needs. From screens to voice interfaces, AR, and beyond, the way we interact with technology is about to change dramatically. So, what does this mean for designers and businesses? While AI is poised to take on tasks like interface generation and A/B testing, designers will need to evolve—focusing on strategy, creativity, user empathy, and ethical considerations. Meanwhile, businesses must start to adopt their workflows to stay ahead of the curve. This talk will explore how these technologies are already being used, what’s coming next, and how companies can start integrating them across different service touchpoints. It will also dive into how designers can begin designing, testing, and validating such solutions—ensuring they enhance experiences rather than overcomplicate them.

0-Click SEO: Leveraging Google Visibility as a Branding Tool

Google’s SERPs have evolved into an information distribution ecosystem designed to satisfy user intent without requiring a click. The rise of “Zero-Click SERPs” is no accident—it results from deliberate algorithmic changes favoring direct answers, AI-generated summaries, and platform-native content. Success in this environment demands a strategic shift from traditional SEO tactics to advanced, technically sound approaches aligned with Google’s machine learning models, entity-based search, and intent mapping. The goal is to maximize visibility across as many Google Search Journeys as possible and leverage this visibility to amplify brand recognition and presence.

Generative AI & Content for SMEs: From Pillar Content to Conversational Content

AI is transforming the way people fulfill their informational needs, search, choose, buy, and interact with brands — both large and small. For SMEs, it’s not just about “using AI to create content,” but about redesigning their content strategy in a landscape where conversational formats, real-time interactions, and personalization are replacing the traditional model of structured, SEO-oriented, and long-term planned content (such as pillar content). In this session, we’ll explore the key steps to update your content strategy in order to effectively engage with emerging touchpoints such as chatbots, AI-generated overviews in traditional search engines, ChatGPT & similar platforms — where dynamic, real-time "content flows" dominate.

Video Thinking: Design Like a Designer, Communicate Like a Creator

From the Munari method to TikTok: create videos that are beautiful, useful, and functional—videos that truly do it all. In a world where everyone makes videos, few actually design them. This talk proposes a paradigm shift: think of video content as a design object—beautiful, useful, and functional—capable of solving communication problems, capturing attention, building trust, being discoverable… and yes, also selling. Starting from Bruno Munari’s method and moving to the logic of digital creators, we’ll explore how to apply visual and narrative design principles to craft high-impact, memorable content. This speech is for content creators, marketing team leaders, or anyone wanting to understand how to use video as a strategic lever, not just decoration. Because today, the winner isn’t the loudest voice—but the best-designed message.

The Zen of AI

AI is rapidly transitioning from a future concept to a mainstream reality, fundamentally changing how we live, work, and connect. My work with AI at Google gives me a firsthand view of this major shift. Yet, my grasp of its profound effects is also deeply influenced by my personal quest for a more meaningful life, which encompasses Zen as well as the grounding practices of music, movement, and meditation. Through my integrated practice of presence and self-awareness – a transformative journey that empowered me to overcome many internal battles – I ultimately came to understand their crucial importance, a realization that speaks to a key challenge of our time: As screens and algorithms increasingly shape our realities, how do we stay anchored in ourselves and actively nurture our wellbeing? And as AI becomes an ever-growing part of our world, what fundamental ethical guidelines should steer this powerful technology to ensure it enhances, rather than diminishes, our human experience This isn't a talk about fearing AI; it's about gaining a clear-eyed perspective. We need to see AI for what it is: a powerful technology built on probabilistic models, essentially a mirror reflecting our own cognitive frameworks and, at times, our cognitive biases. To better understand this dynamic, I've been exploring insights from seemingly different domains: the age-old wisdom of Buddhism and the counterintuitive principles of quantum physics. Both, in their own way, offer perspectives on interconnectedness and the dynamic nature of reality – concepts that I believe have surprising relevance to our relationship with AI.  Ultimately, this isn't just a technical discussion. It's a human one. It's about how we find our footing, our sense of balance, a kind of "Zen"  in this rapidly evolving AI landscape. It's about fostering intentionality and presence so that these technologies truly serve to enhance our well-being, rather than inadvertently diminishing our sense of self. Let's explore how we can navigate this future with a combination of informed curiosity and a strong connection to our authentic selves, guiding our way ethically in the future of AI.

Digital is no longer your ‘shortcut’: it’s time for strategy, not just testing

It’s time to abandon the illusion of digital as a quick-fix tactic. Digital advertising is a vast and hyper-competitive ecosystem where the brand is the true driver. It’s no longer just a tool for direct performance but a strategic pillar for communication. From Connected TV (CTV) to Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH), every digital touchpoint influences the customer journey. Don’t relegate it to mere testing. Don’t activate it last. Integrate it strategically by leveraging its cross-channel impact, measurable through advanced models like marketing mix modeling, and build a presence that goes far beyond a click or a single sale.

WTF?

We have never known as much as we do today about how little we know about tomorrow. The world is changing, but the biggest changes are yet to happen. This applies to all industries, including banking and finance, but in no way limited to it. In this talk, Yngvar discusses how DNB approaches innovation and the use of AI technology to remain competitive in the short, medium, and long term, through extensive investments in artificial intelligence.

Dal Brand Ecosystem all'Hyper Brand. E se Kanye West fosse l’epitome del brand post-identitario?

In un’epoca di forti turbolenze, in cui l’identità di marca non si costruisce più solo attraverso coerenza e consistenza, ma attraverso esposizione, accelerazione e interferenza, Kanye West rappresenta un caso-limite ma paradigmatico: un hyper brand vivente, che oscilla tra creazione artistica e strategia mediatica. Lo speech usa l’esempio dell’artista per poi esplorare, con altri case studies, l’evoluzione di diversi approcci al tema, dal brand piattaforma al brand “ecosistema” arrivando alla forma più estrema e instabile dell’hyper brand, dove l’obiettivo è sostenuto da tattiche di shock culturale e iniezioni costanti di contenuto ad alta intensità simbolica.

Augmented Writing: Integrating Artificial Intelligence into the Human Creative Process

Artificial intelligence is an invention, not an innovation. Words matter — and according to the OECD, 95% of Italians do not reach the average level of literacy. AI is a revolution across all sectors, including our personal and professional lives. This talk explores how AI can be used as a collaborative tool in the creative process, while emphasizing the value of human cognitive writing. We’ll discuss strategies to filter the overwhelming amount of information available today by combining human and AI capabilities, with the goal of improving personal knowledge management and building a digital Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system, useful in personal life, education, and professional contexts. The aim is to demonstrate how a balanced integration of organic and synthetic writing can lead to augmented writing, enhancing both creativity and communication effectiveness — with ourselves and with others.

Revolutionizing Media: AI-powered Voice Cloning and Face Swapping

The presentation explores recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science (DS) in AI generated audio (including voice cloning) and AI generated video (including face swapping). The presentation begins by providing some premises and definitions to frame what Generative AI is and how it "works" (e.g. LLM, deep learning) and to describe the main use cases in audio and video generation. In the first part, the impact of generative artificial intelligence on audio generation is analyzed. The focus is on voice cloning (opportunities, risks, applications) and highlighting best practices for properly managing AI-generated audios containing voice cloning. In the second part, the impact of generative artificial intelligence on video generation is analyzed. The focus is on face swapping (opportunities, risks, applications) and highlighting best practices to properly handle AI-generated videos containing face swapping.

Perchè non parli mai di Gaza? | Riflessioni non politiche sulla responsabilità sociale dei content creator

Essere creator, avere un pubblico di decine di migliaia di persone che ci seguono sui social ogni giorno è un privilegio ma anche (a volte soprattutto) una responsabilità. In questo intervento voglio esplorare proprio quest’ultima, capire i limiti imposti dalle piattaforme, i rischi di cadere nelle fake news, le diffidenze dei brand, il comprensibile fastidio di una parte di pubblico e le soluzioni che ho trovato nel momento in cui ho provato a parlare di alcuni dei risvolti più difficili dell’attualità e della politica negli ultimi mesi. Questo speech non vuole sollevare polemiche ma domande: avere un grande seguito vuol dire anche avere la responsabilità di parlare di fatti o eventi che segnano l'orizzonte politico e sociale della contemporaneità? E se sì, in che modo dobbiamo parlarne?

Essere creativi: sfide, impegno e supporto

Iniziare un percorso sui social 12 anni fa significava farlo per gioco, per passione o come passatempo. Oggi gli obiettivi sono spesso diversi, come fama o affermazione personale, ma non bisogna dimenticare che essere creativi non è solo ispirazione ma anche impegno quotidiano e costanza mentale. I piccoli traguardi raggiunti alimentano la motivazione e danno forza per superare i momenti più difficili, che fanno sempre parte del cammino. Fondamentale è vedersi in continua evoluzione, maturare ed essere aperti a nuove sfide da affrontare.
