We’re witnessing a shift in which the ambition of major players is no longer about conquering physical territory, but mental territory ; “the colonization of our attention,” as Bo Burnham describes it.

Brands compete for clicks, content competes for seconds, meetings compete for protagonism. The more disruptive the content, the more rage bait, the greater the retention and consequently, the more attention and revenue. And so the logic of volume takes hold: shout, speak louder, capture attention at any cost.

This culture of agitation no longer lives only on screens. The boundary between digital and real life has become thin, almost nonexistent, and it is felt in the market, within companies, and in the rhythm of everyday life.

The volume has increased, and so has the speed. Amid this constant noise, it seems that only what speaks the loudest survives, what follows the latest trend, what imposes itself with greater spectacle, what makes the most noise and appears the most disruptive.

However, when we transpose this logic beyond our screens and step outside the digital realm, a flaw becomes evident: the most transformative ideas are rarely the loudest.

Within a company or a team, the ideas that truly change direction, that reshape culture, improve results, and create consistency rarely come from the most dominant voice in the room. They often emerge from those who are listening carefully and acting discreetly in the details. From those observing patterns and cross-referencing data. From those who understand that the problem is not exactly what it appears to be on the surface and choose an informed direction, even if that direction is not the most spectacular in the short term.

The democratization of AI has accelerated this logic of noise at an unprecedented speed. Suddenly, everyone has become an expert in everything. We are witnessing a collective empowerment: accessible tools, instant answers, automated content generation, accelerated decision-making. But at what cost?

There is an evident agitation in our lives and in the market itself. We feel a nearly permanent frenzy. A sense of instability, of not quite knowing where to aim. The pressure to launch so as not to fall behind. To innovate for the mere purpose of announcing innovation. “To stop is to die”, to become obsolete.

And in the midst of this endless race in which we are no longer even sure what the finish line is a difficult question emerges: where is the space for reflection? For calm? For surgical decision-making?

In our sector, digital, and particularly in the development of websites and digital positioning strategies this tension has never been clearer. It is all too easy to fall into the deceptive trap of noise and fail to ask the essential question: “Where are we going? For what purpose?”

True competitive advantage rarely lies in speed alone. Running simply for the sake of running resembles a hamster wheel more than a marathon with a clear objective.

I firmly believe that strategy is not the opposite of innovation, but rather what prevents innovation from becoming mere noise, just another passing trend.

In a saturated, uncertain, and hyperstimulated market, perhaps we are being called to create a kind of countercurrent. To resist being swept away by rapid, unconscious decisions and to question before acting.

To be a vehicle for calm, reflection, and direction is not to be slow or to hinder innovation. It is to be intentional. It is to be the person in silence in a room full of noise, gathering information and acting at the right moment, in the most strategic and sustainable way. In the midst of chaos, being a vehicle for innovation requires exactly that.

This is not a call for passivity, conformity, or lack of ambition. On the contrary, it is a defense of the idea that true ambition requires discernment. That real innovation can be born from a whisper. From the last person in the room.

In a world that rewards noise, strategy is an act of silent courage.

I want to believe that the best decisions, those that build solid brands, structured websites, relevant digital experiences, and projects prepared for the new era of artificial intelligence, do not need to shout. They need to make more sense. And meaning is not imposed. It is built.
