Everything is Waves
How Sound & Music Connect Brands to Their People

Design shapes how we see the world, but what about how we feel it?

Join Wilson Brown and Lilly Pontius-Goldblatt of Antfood, one of the world’s most celebrated music and sound design studios, for a wide-ranging conversation on the untapped power of audio in design and brand. 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 and what it means for the work we make.

Through real partnerships with brands like Instacart, Jack Daniel’s, CBS, and David Blaine, Wilson and Lilly will unpack how intentional audio elevates visual and motion work, creates brand cohesion, and forges genuine emotional connection with audiences. Most brands still aren’t thinking about sound as part of their identity, this is your invitation to change that.

Whether you work in branding, motion, experiential, or strategy, you’ll walk away with a new lens on the creative process and a few provocations worth carrying into your next project.
