From September 24 to 25, Paradigms 2024 gathered branding experts from around the world in Rome for a two-day summit focused on the future of brand experience. Since its start in 2022, Paradigms has become a top event where creative professionals explore new directions in branding.
The event took place at the Acquario Romano, also known as Casa dell’Architettura. Originally built as an aquarium in 1887 by Ettore Bernich, this beautiful historical building now combines old architecture with modern design, making it an inspiring spot for the summit.
Rome's rich history and culture provided the perfect setting for discussions on brand storytelling and design. Paradigms 2024 brought together tradition and innovation, creating a unique atmosphere where participants could explore new ideas and perspectives on branding.

Toni Hukkanen’s perspective on Paradigms 2024
Toni Hukkanen, owner and head of design at FOR® Agency, shared his admiration for Paradigms 2024, reflecting on its diligent organisation and engaging atmosphere:
“Paradigms is truly an exceptional event, one of the best in the industry. Everything from the venue and catering to the calibre of people you meet is at an absolutely top level. You’re surrounded by people who live and breathe branding as a primary focus, and that creates a unique energy that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Every element has been carefully curated, from the topics and speakers to the overall ambience. It’s the best-organised event I’ve ever attended, honestly. It felt like stepping into a scene from a movie.”

Day one highlights
Day one of Paradigms 2024 was both high-energy and thoughtful, with speakers who challenged how branding can reconcile the tension between tradition and change in an ever-fluid reality.
Opening remarks
Michele Romano, legal counsel at Frontify, started the conference with a strong tribute to Rome, the Eternal City. He noted how, over the years, the city has really embodied art and culture, comparing the classical beauty of Rome to the fundamental components that define timeless brands. Their authenticity, durability, and ability to reinvent themselves without losing character.
Romano drew on Rome’s rich history to set a purposeful and inspiring tone for the summit. He encouraged participants to connect with the city’s past while also embracing new ideas and staying open to change.
A presentation from Pophouse Entertainment
Claire Houghton-Price and Kim Nystrom from Pophouse Entertainment shared how they build brands around timeless music acts and invest in iconic music catalogues. Pophouse transforms famous musicians into living cultural brands by working closely with artists and their estates.
This approach helps preserve music legacies and brings these artists back to new audiences in fresh ways. Such revival keeps the music alive and roots these artists in popular culture, thus demonstrating how music catalogues can become powerful legacy brands.
Porto Rocha's design philosophy
Leo Porto and Felipe Rocha from Porto Rocha gave an inspiring talk about their approach to design. They believe in respecting traditional design rules while also pushing boundaries and challenging expectations. Based in New York, Porto Rocha combines smart strategy with creative design to build brands that feel solid and timeless but also fit well with today’s trends.
They challenge contemporary design norms without dismissing them, offering a fresh perspective. By emphasising relevance and evolution in their practice, Porto Rocha showed that design can be both timeless and responsive, evolving with societal changes while retaining its essence.
Panel discussion by Ask Us for Ideas (AUFI)
Moderated by Nick Bell, the panel included Bomo Piri of Native Instruments, Iona Carter of Wise, Jolyon Varley from OK Cool, and Leo Porto. They discussed topics like choice architecture and usability, with audience questions prompting deeper thinking.
The panellists shared that great work leaves a lasting impression, much like a memorable movie or song. Jolyon Varley said that impactful work blends context, relevance, and resonance, leaving a mark. They emphasised that creativity is more than engagement. It creates lasting connections.
Ana Andjelic on culturally contextual brands
Ana Andjelic, an influential figure in brand strategy, spoke about how we should think of brands within their cultural context. She emphasised that connecting with current cultural narratives is not just a new trend but a must for brands wanting to stay relevant and aligned with their audiences.
Brands should integrate within the cultural fabric to create a grounded sense of connection and embed their relevance into consumers' lives. Instead of the usual marketing tactics, Andjelic promotes a cultural-based approach to strategy, allowing brands to participate actively in cultural discussions.
Giorgia Lupi’s data humanism
Pentagram partner Giorgia Lupi spoke about what she sees as an innovative and deeply humanistic approach to data visualisation. Using examples from her own career, she illustrated how turning raw data into visuals and stories can highlight the human stories behind the numbers.
Lupi's methodology challenges the perception of data as cold and abstract by humanising it with elements of personal experience and emotion. Her work shows how data visualisation can connect the reader to narrators, making faceless numbers into real, relatable people and situations. Through her thoughtful visualisations, she bridges the gap between abstract information and human reality.
Mozilla’s brand evolution by JKR
Lisa Smith and Amy Bebbington of JKR revealed the evolution of Mozilla's rebranding efforts. The project aimed to reconnect Mozilla with its activist roots, emphasising openness and accessibility on the internet. By focusing on long-term brand evolution, they helped Mozilla stay relevant in our rapidly changing digital landscape. The rebranding process redefined Mozilla's visual identity and messaging to reflect its core values and mission, ensuring the brand remains authentic and aligned with its audience.
The sessions emphasised the need to balance the old and the new, honouring tradition while embracing innovation and creating work that connects meaningfully with audiences.

Day two highlights
Day two of Paradigms 2024 raised the bar even higher, exploring the links between empathy, creativity, and boldness in brand experiences. Attendees listened to various speakers who encouraged them to think differently about the human connections and ethical choices that help build strong brands.
Matt Klein on cultural trends
Matt Klein, founder of Zine and Head of Foresight at Reddit, spoke about the importance of empathy and authenticity in modern creative work. Klein urged against self-censorship if we are to engage with our audience truly. In these times of rapid sharing and instant feedback, he called for creativity that mirrors the true sentiment and values of brands as they are rather than filtering them through trend-appropriate language and aesthetics. He emphasised that remaining authentic goes a long way in building relationships with an audience that craves genuine interactions.
Bomo Piri on the power of sound in branding
Bomo Piri of Native Instruments discussed the unique power of sound as a branding tool, showing that good sound, just like good visuals, can create an emotional response from the consumer. Piri spoke about how layering emotion, narrative, and context in sound design conveys meaning that sticks with the listener and deepens brand communication.
When appropriately used, the sound is universal and stays with you, which is powerful yet often underestimated. He highlighted how sound can add depth to a well-told story and lead to an emotional connection with a brand.
Alex Bec on current creative trends
Alex Bec, CEO of It’s Nice That, delivered an exhilarating overview of the trends reshaping creative work right now. Bec noted that brands and creatives need to stay aware and responsive to evolving aesthetics and cultural currents. He urged attendees to seek out new influences, as today’s trends may be fleeting but can provide insights into broader changes in consumer tastes and visual language. He reminded participants that in this era of instant creativity, staying open to experimentation is essential to remain relevant and innovative.
Emma Baines on Tony’s Chocolonely bold moves
Emma Baines, global head of creative at Tony's Chocolonely, spoke about the brand’s bold approach to challenging industry norms to improve the chocolate world. She discussed fair trade and explained how Tony's Chocolonely runs disruptive campaigns that mimic popular chocolate packaging to highlight unethical practices.
While controversial, Baines stood by her narrative that bold, disruptive strategies are necessary to drive change and action across the industry. Tony's Chocolonely mission-driven strategy shows how brands can succeed globally by taking a stand on critical social issues and encouraging consumers and competitors to adopt more ethical practices.
Cam Brandow’s philosophical insights
Cam Brandow shared a unique view on the role of the human touch in creativity, bringing a thoughtful moment to the day’s discussions. She encouraged attendees to reconnect with the human side of their creative work through mindfulness and self-reflection. According to Brandow, being mindful can lead to deeper, more original ideas. Her message highlighted that even though brands or ads may seem separate from personal life, they are made by real people whose well-being and a sense of purpose are key to lasting success.
Brian Collins on design history
Brian Collins, co-founder of COLLINS, ended the day with a talk on the history of design and branding. He shared stories of important figures and projects that shaped modern design and will continue to influence the future.
His presentation was a reminder that learning from past creators can fuel our ambition and show us how to leave a lasting mark on the industry. Collins’ talk honoured tradition and inspiration while also encouraging innovation and endless possibilities for growth.
Each presentation from day two offered a compelling angle on the power of creativity and innovation in branding. They urged attendees to explore empathy, courage, mindfulness, and historical wisdom as guiding principles for their future work.
