Creative Director Returns To Popular Conference To Be Held June 12-14 In Santa Fe, NM
Leftchannel Creative Director Alberto Scirocco, returns to motion 2015 conference, the Ted talks of the motion design industry, which will be held June 12-14 at the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, NM. The theme of the 2015 conference is ‘imagination.’
This year marks the third year that Scirocco has played a prominent role at the popular creative design conference. In 2013, leftchannel crafted the show open and spoke each day of the conference about its concept, execution and challenges it presented. The open went on to be a finalist at the 2014 SXSW Titles Design Competition. In 2014 Scirocco led discussion about how creativity is affected by things you are not aware of, and how to unlock the shackles of conformism and find new pathways to creativity.
Speaking on Sunday, June 14 starting at 10:37am, Scirocco will speak about the pros and cons of ‘the big idea’ and how the sure bet isn’t always the best bet. He will follow his talk with a Q&A featuring Motion founder Elaine Montoya, followed by a panel discussion with Chris Do of Blind and Mark Coleran from Samsung.
“Motion has become an important event in our industry thanks to its focus on the creative process, the structure of the sessions and the engaging environment it encourages,” Scirocco says. “I’m proud to be asked to participate again and I look forward to exchanging ideas with our peers.”

Sonic Branding For Social Media: Engage, Align, Connect
By Chad Cook -- With more than five billion people accessing social media daily, savvy brands understand the importance of cultivating a strong social identity. They devote massive resources toward brand awareness, audience targeting, content strategy and community engagement. Yet, while they know that social platforms are critical to boosting sales and attracting new customers, many neglect one of the most effective tools for connecting with consumers: sonic branding. Marketers often associate sonic branding with catchy mnemonics used by big brands like McDonald’s, Netflix and Intel in their advertising. But that is a very limited view of what sonic branding is and what it can do. Sonic branding is a way to build awareness and stimulate engagement across all touch points, from advertising to broadcast digital, in-person and social. And it’s not limited to members of the Fortune 500. Brands at all levels can benefit from a sonic identity that is memorable, engaging and reflective of its core values. Sound has been scientifically proven to be deeply tied to memory and emotion. There’s a reason that certain songs stick in your head and bring back memories formed years or even decades earlier. So, it’s surprising that sonic branding is often an afterthought in marketing plans. That is especially true in social media marketing. Faced with tight deadlines and strained budgets, creative teams are often tempted to select music for their content simply because it “fits.” Unfortunately, that may result in content that is in tune with what’s trending but is out of tune with brand identity. Effective sonic branding, by contrast, requires thoughtful strategic planning,... Read More
