Sonic Branding

The Sound of Nana

Project Brief

Nana, the leading digital grocery platform in Saudi Arabia, partnered with MusicGrid to create a custom campaign soundtrack that would match the brand’s energy, familiarity, and everyday relevance. From the start, the goal was to produce a sound that could carry across multiple formats, languages, and audience segments—while staying recognizably Nana.

A Sound People Recognize Instantly

The Challenge

Nana’s brand lives in homes, on screens, and in people's daily routines. We needed to create a sonic identity that felt natural in all those places—recognizable within seconds, and emotionally in sync with how people shop, wait, and receive. The sound had to support a variety of campaign styles, while being unmistakably Nana across platforms and formats.

Our Approach

We began with the development of a signature sonic logo—built around two core ideas: anticipation and delight. To capture that, we introduced two elements people associate with daily convenience:

  • A whistle motif, bright and playful, suggesting lighthearted service
  • A doorbell chime, signaling arrival and reliability

This became the heart of Nana’s sound: quick, catchy, and built around real-world audio triggers. From there, we expanded into a campaign soundtrack and a library of musical adaptations—adjusted for tone, language, tempo, and use-case.
