from the AGENDA

Why logic (sometimes) is anesthesia for brands: In a digital landscape flattened by infinite choices, the instinct is to seek shelter in the "proven." Brands monitor competitors, mirror successful moves, and obsess over data to mitigate risk. But this quest for security carries a lethal hidden cost: it destroys the friction required to build genuine memory. Logic makes you safe. It also makes you invisible.

In a society obsessed with attention, silence is treated as an error. Platforms, creators, and brands are terrified of the pause.

Let’s be honest. Nobody wakes up in the morning hoping to see an ad. We install blockers, we skip intros, we pay premiums to make them disappear. Yet, advertising is the invisible engine of the free internet. It is the reason we have free maps, free videos etc.. We don't pay with money. We pay with attention. We have unknowingly signed a contract where our eyes are the currency. We have become living billboards. Since this exchange is inevitable, it demands one thing: Dignity.
