What about how we feel it?Join Wilson Brown and Lilly Pontius-Goldblatt of Antfood, a global sonic studio with offices in New York, São Paulo, and Los Angeles, for a wide-ranging conversation on the untapped power of audio in brand and design. From the earliest instruments humans ever made to the generative tools reshaping creativity today, this talk traces the surprisingly visual, deeply emotional language of sound.Through work with Netflix, CBS, Jack Daniel's, and Venmo, Wilson and Lilly will unpack how intentional sound elevates visual and motion work, builds brand cohesion, and forges real emotional connections with audiences. Most brands still aren't thinking about sound as a core part of their identity. This is your invitation to change that. The outcomes are powerful, and the process is fun!Whether you work in branding, motion, experiential, or strategy, you'll leave with a new lens on the creative process — and a few provocations worth carrying into your next project.SpeakersWilson Brown is an artist and a creative entrepreneur.
