1. Sound as a strategic brand tool
Sonic branding goes far beyond jingles. It's about long-term emotional recall, brand consistency, and using sound to deepen connection.
2. Designing for cultural context
In a region as rich and diverse as the Middle East, sonic identity needs to feel both authentic and elevated. We discussed how brands can achieve that balance.
3. Insights from the agency side
Firas shared how agencies approach audio, and why sound remains one of the most overlooked tools in brand-building today.
4. Creative meets commercial
We broke down how MusicGrid creates sonic identities that are artistically compelling and strategically aligned.
