An Analog Brain In A Digital Age Podcast is your backstage pass to my mind
— where analog meets digital, and the occasional pig flies.
In an age racing toward algorithms and automation, the best ideas still come from
curiosity, experience, emotion, and the unexpected connection.
What you'll find are conversations on technology & society, storytelling in all its forms, branding & marketing, creativity, and the odd surprise.
Hello humans — and not.
Please allow me to introduce myself.
Hello humans — and not. Please allow me to introduce myself.
I'm a branding advisor who helps cybersecurity and tech companies define who they are, shape their story, and ensure their marketing communicates it effectively.
I do this through Studio C60—Analog Brains For The Digital Age—working with founders, executives, and marketing teams to cut through the noise, clarify positioning, and create content strategies rooted in authentic storytelling rather than generic industry-speak.
You get both co-founders of ITSPmagazine as your advisors—industry expertise that would typically sit on your advisory board, but on demand and with zero commitment. With 60+ years combined experience in branding, marketing, cybersecurity, journalism, creative direction, and analyst work, you get both the logical and creative perspective—plus access to our network of specialists when needed.

*I work in both English and Italian, remotely or in person — and I split my time between Los Angeles and Florence, though I’m often found around the globe, wherever clients, creative collaborations, and event coverage bring me.
What makes my approach different
Nearly three decades of experience across advertising, journalism, and content creation—combined with deep, ongoing immersion in the cybersecurity and technology world through ITSPmagazine, the multimedia platform I co-founded in 2015. There, I host conversations, moderate panels, cover major industry events, and explore the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society. That access gives me a perspective most marketing consultants simply don't have.
I hold a Master's degree in Political Science, with a specialization in Sociology of Communication, from the University of Florence (Cesare Alfieri), along with a post-laurea specialization in Advertising and Communication. My career started in advertising in the mid-90s and has moved from pure analog to the digital-analog hybrid reality we navigate today.
On a more personal creative note, I write and produce Storie Sotto le Stelle, a collaborative project with my mother — now a passionate writer — where we bring short, magical children’s stories to life in both written and audio formats, in Italian and English. It’s a family journey and a reminder that creativity, when shared, connects generations.
I am Available for Interviews, Panels, and Podcast Appearances
I'm always excited to join conversations that matter. As a guest, I bring insights on Technology & Society, Cybersecurity & Society, Storytelling, Branding & Advertising, Content Strategy, and Podcasting — topics where human impact meets innovation, and innovation meets human impact. These discussions fuel my curiosity and help us all navigate our rapidly changing world. Interested in having me on your show?

WELCOME TO THE ENCHANTED WORLD OF STORIES UNDER THE STARS
Written between Florence and Los Angeles by Lucia & Marco Ciappelli.
Originally in Italian, available to read and listen in both Italian and English — and now in Spanish too.
Join us under the stars, where mysterious storytellers reveal enchanted worlds filled with heroes, curious beings, lost lands, strange encounters, and adventures that stretch across time and imagination — and stories that unfold where the ordinary meets the extraordinary.
Some stories are light and playful, perfect for a smile and a spark of wonder. Others go deeper, written also for those who may have grown up — but never stopped imagining.
Each tale is a little universe waiting to be explored. Open your mind. The journey begins.
Now you can listen and subscribe to the Storie Sotto Le Stelle Podcast
The Stories are available in Italian and English
