In this episode of Heard Mentality, we sit down with Westpac’s Chief Growth and Marketing Officer, Michelle Klein, to unpack how one of Australia’s most established brands found a powerful new idea… hidden in plain sight.

From unlocking the iconic “W” to creating a custom song that audiences instantly connected with, this conversation explores how simplicity, creativity and sound can transform how a brand shows up — and how it’s remembered.

Michelle shares the thinking behind Westpac’s latest brand platform, why music became the centrepiece of the campaign, and how sonic branding can act as a powerful “mnemonic device” — building memory, emotion and long-term brand equity.

In this episode of Heard Mentality, we explore why audio might be the most underused and powerful medium in advertising.

Brittney Rigby sits down with three leaders in sound and creativity: Ralph Van Dijk (Founder of Eardrum), Sophie Haydon (Executive Creative Producer at Sonar Music), and Zac Pritchard (Executive Creative Director at Dentsu Creative).

Together they unpack why audio captures attention in ways other media can’t, why much podcast advertising still misses the mark, and why brands should stop treating sound as an afterthought.

From the emotional power of music to the craft of sonic branding, the conversation explores how great audio work is created and why authenticity, voice, and storytelling matter more than ever in an AI-driven world.

If great advertising makes people feel something, this episode asks a simple question: should sound be where it starts?
