Vórtice 2026 began on 14 October in the STEM building at ESPOL, with the participation of students, lecturers and professionals from Chile and abroad. The programme included four talks on film, artificial intelligence, art direction and creativity, as well as practical workshops on photomontage, digital collage and business strategy. The event promoted the exchange of experiences, hands-on learning and the connection between academic training and the professional world of design and audiovisual communication.

The talk ‘Did you see that brand?’, delivered by Diego Gómez, a mechanic and CEO of DG Motors, brought together around 80 students from FADCOM–ESPOL to explore how strategic communication and content creation strengthen a brand’s identity. Drawing on his experience, Gómez shared tools for connecting with audiences on social media and emphasised that the challenge is not just to generate views, but to ensure that a brand remains in the public’s memory.
