Poor Brand Manager of Vero Volley! Paola Egonu and Myriam Sylla attract all the attention (but not the Club), a women’s Serie A team navigating the move from Monza to Milan, a men’s team still based in Monza, a group of six clubs with different logos, colors, and corporate identities, 60 youth teams with different names, more than 10 social projects focused on development, inclusion, and sustainability, and fans who want to win. What can be done to establish a clear, sustainable, and coherent Brand positioning?

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.

The true value of a brand is not measured by market share, but by its ability to root itself in the consumer’s mind as an instinctive choice: it is no longer enough to communicate trust — you must embody it. This talk explores how NeuroPositioning® enables a brand to become an emotional lever, because understanding the brain function of your target audience is no longer optional. With a scientific approach, we will see how to build narratives capable of bypassing skepticism and redefining positioning: we are not just building a brand, but creating a trust trigger.

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.
