"From 2007, I've been at the forefront of
branding projects for clients across diverse
industries.
Since then, I’ve been continuously updating
branding narratives, methodologies, and
frameworks to inspire the creation of
contemporary, relevant, and compelling brands.
Inspired by the last five editions of SXSW, I've
dedicated myself to studying the future of
branding and exploring how AI will shape the
creation of brand strategy, identity, and
experience.
I would be pleased to share these insights with
the creative minds of SXSW Community in
2024."

Consumers, employees, investors, suppliers,
and partners - we're all people living in unique
times where usual truths are questioned and
new values emerge.
This causes conflicts, stress, and anxiety, but
also opens doors to new opportunities.
The emotional roller coaster we're riding is
magnified by social media, amplifying
individual voices and transforming
relationships.
With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI),
these emotions will intensify, adding more
ambiguity to our social narratives.
