The sound of growth and why playing it safe gets you nowhere

Pizza Hut's staff can't say the brand's name in the office anymore. They sing it.

That's what a sonic asset does when it's working. Toyota has known it for decades: every brief there now starts with the same two questions. What are we doing with the sting, and what's the music?

Brittney Rigby sits down with Nora-Kate O'Connell (CMO, Pizza Hut Australia), Evan Roberts (co-founder and CCO, Tightknit Studio) and Piero Ruzzene (ECD, Saatchi & Saatchi).

They get into the decoy scripts written deliberately too far so the merely bold ones felt safe. Waking at 3am wondering if you've gone too hard. Why the Netflix ta-dum does more brand work in one second than most platforms manage in a year. Why a sound-alike always feels hollow, even when it's legally clear. And the test that settles it: same ad, same pictures, change the track, and the effectiveness score moves a full star.

What does great creative actually sound like?

Brittany Rigby sits down with two of Australia's top creative leaders, David Fraser (CD, BMF) and Jeremy Hogg (National ECD, M+C Saatchi), to talk trust, taste, and the craft of audio in an industry obsessed with the shiny and the new.

They get into keeping humans at the heart of the work, the "theatre of the mind" that makes radio so powerful, why audio still gets treated as an afterthought (and why it shouldn’t be!), knowing when an idea sounds right, hunting down unusual voices, the rise of absurdist humour, and the sonic branding that still gives them goosebumps.

A must-listen for anyone in advertising, marketing, radio or audio production.
