Dato mata relato: cómo investigar en la era de la incertidumbre

Javier Velilla. Comuniza
Friday 08 - 12:00


¿Diseñas con datos o con los dedos cruzados?
En el mundo del branding, todos tenemos opiniones, pero en la era de la incertidumbre, las opiniones son castillos de naipes. Si sigues fiándolo todo a la “intuición”, estás a un paso del abismo. Es hora de que el dato mate al relato.

En esta masterclass aprenderás a investigar de verdad para que tus decisiones de diseño sean armas de destrucción masiva contra la duda. Javier Velilla te enseñará a transformar la información en la mejor aliada de tu creatividad.

El arte de nombrar

Fernando Beltrán. El nombre de las cosas
Saturday 09 - 10:00


Puedes tener el branding más espectacular del mundo, pero si el nombre no acompaña, la marca nace muda. Encontrar el nombre perfecto no es cuestión de un rapto de inspiración divina o de juntar sílabas al azar; es un arte estratégico que define el destino de un proyecto.

En esta sesión, Fernando Beltrán te enseña a dominar el naming desde la emoción y el criterio. Aprenderás que nombrar es crear identidad y que un buen nombre es la primera piedra de la evolución de cualquier marca. Deja de poner parches y comienza a bautizar con intención.

Tu marca personal también se diseña

Berta Mateos Romero
Friday 08 - 10:00


En casa de herrero… 
Eres capaz de levantar la identidad de una multinacional, pero cuando te toca hablar de ti, te entran los siete males. Tu portfolio está desactualizado, tu LinkedIn tiene telarañas y tu marca personal es un “ya si eso, mañana”.

En esta masterclass, aprenderás que tu marca personal también se diseña. Aprenderás a dejar de ser el secreto mejor guardado del sector para proyectar quién eres y qué valor aportas de verdad. Es hora de evolucionar tu visibilidad y tratarte con el mismo cariño que tratas a tus clientes.

Deja de diseñar lo que ya sabes hacer

Francesco Maria Furno
Friday 08 - 10:30


Abres un brief y antes de terminar de leerlo, tu cerebro ya ha escupido la solución de siempre. El cliente la aceptará pero huele a fotocopia.

Es la fatiga creativa llamando a tu puerta. En este workshop vamos a aprender a “matar” lo obvio. Usaremos métodos de John Cleese (el de Monty Python), Brian Eno y Bruno Munari para desbloquear tu creatividad y dejar de diseñar lo que ya sabes hacer. Es hora de evolucionar tu proceso y recuperar el placer de crear de verdad.

De insignificante a invencible. Metodología y otras cosas importantes para dominar las ventas en la industria creativa

Juan Francisco (Jonás) Carró
Friday 08 - 10:30


La mayoría de los creativos no sabemos vender nuestro talento, y en el momento de la venta nos sentimos como vendedores de enciclopedias.

En este workshop apenderás una metodología para dominar las ventas en la industria creativa. Olvídate de la timidez y el síndrome del impostor; es hora de cobrar lo que vales y gestionar tus proyectos con autoridad. Esta bien tener talento, pero también hay que saber venderlo.

La Nave Madrid

La Nave is not just a venue; it is the stage where Madrid’s industrial heritage meets innovation. Located in the former Boetticher factory in Villaverde, its imposing 13,000 m² structure preserves the essence of its past while looking toward the future. With its iconic colorful lattices and open-plan architecture, it offers the perfect environment for the Branding community to gather in a space that—much like our work—combines the solidity of structure with the flexibility of new ideas.

The main talks will take place in the main auditorium, while workshops and masterclasses will be held in multipurpose rooms within the same complex. The venue’s design fosters that necessary pause we always talk about. It is an accessible, spacious place full of character, designed so that stepping out of the office truly feels like the break we need.

Some answers to the usual questions—you know, just so we don’t have to repeat ourselves constantly.
But if you have any doubts, write to us at [email protected] and we’ll surely be able to help. If there’s one thing we’re experts at, it’s answering emails.

When will the full program be published?

We will be announcing the speakers and schedules on the website and in our newsletter. So stay tuned! As for the schedule: masterclasses and workshops take place in the morning, while the talks start on Friday afternoon and Saturday mid-morning. We wrap up the day around 9:00 PM. Masterclasses and Workshops run simultaneously, so be careful not to sign up for two things at the same time. During the talks, there are no other activities, so if you book a masterclass or a workshop, you won't have to worry about missing anything else.

What does the conference ticket include?

All the talks, obviously. But keep in mind that masterclasses and workshops are booked separately. On another note, be careful not to sign up for two things at the same time. During the talks, there are no other activities, so if you grab a masterclass or a workshop, you won't have to worry about missing the talks. However, masterclasses and workshops do have parallel scheduling.

What language are the talks in?

The talks are in Spanish by default. If there are talks in other languages, simultaneous translation will be available.

Can I attend only the workshops, masterclasses, and/or the talks?

Sure! You can sign up for whatever you want. The program doesn't overlap. Only the masterclasses and workshops run simultaneously, so check the schedule before grabbing your ticket. Keep in mind that there will be several masterclasses and workshops, and the schedules for these activities do overlap. Check the program before grabbing your ticket.

Where to eat in the area? Will there be food trucks?

We will have a couple of food trucks at the event. So you won't have to go very far at lunchtime. There will also be a cafeteria service. Is this event for professionals only? Not at all! Anyone interested in branding and strategy can access the event, whether you are an industry professional, a student, or simply want to know more about what this branding thing is all about.

Is this event for me?

If the answer to any of these is "yes," this event is for you: - I am a creative industry professional (design, ads, photography... whatever your discipline, you know what branding is all about) - I work only in strategy (The event isn't just about design. There will be storytelling, naming, motion, advertising, critical thinking, strategy, etc.) - I am a design student (you'll learn a ton) - I am a teacher (a must) - I am a student in another field (if you know what branding is and how important it is for the market you want to get into, you'll be interested) - I am a neighbor from the Villaverde district and I have no clue about branding, but hey, I'm interested in dropping by.

Yikes! My sister is getting married (for the third time, seriously?) and I can't make it to the fest. Can I get a refund?

Until April 1st, you are entitled to a full refund on your tickets. If you grabbed your ticket with cancellation insurance, you can get a full refund up to 1 day before the event kicks off.
