What does a brand sound like, and how do you make people feel it before they see it?

SBS's Uma Oldham, Bureau of Everything's Emily Taylor and Mosaic's Adam Moses join Brittney Rigby to unpack how sound builds brands people remember. Uma shares how SBS built its new sonic identity and put audio at the heart of its World Cup Watchers' Rights Association campaign. Emily takes us inside Domino's first brand platform in a decade, Drop Everything* It's Domino's, and explains how radio let Amber Electric tell South Australians they were revolting. Adam reveals how he wrote one anthem for Amex's World Cup campaign and gave it a distinct voice in four countries.

Together they make the case that radio is one of the most untapped opportunities in marketing, and that brands willing to brief it properly are rewarded with work that cuts through. Plus, 3D audio ads that drop listeners into the wilderness, King Stingray's take on Down Under, and the sounds that live rent free in their heads.

A Christmas carol, a true crime podcast and hip hop radio in juvenile detention. All powered by sound that moves people.

In this episode of Heard Mentality, Jon Austin, Co-Founder of Supermassive, and Dom Hickey, Chief Strategy Officer at Enigma, explore why sound deserves a bigger role in brand strategy and creative thinking. From Air New Zealand’s Christmas carol and the AFP’s true crime podcast to triple j’s evolving identity and a hip hop radio station helping young people in detention, they unpack how audio can build culture, spark emotion and change behaviour.

Along the way, they challenge the idea that audiences have stopped paying attention and whether brands simply need to be more interesting.

Sound Worth Paying Attention To

The jingle didn't follow the media plan. It built it.

Chupa Chups is one of the most recognised confectionery brands on earth, and almost all of that recognition sits on a stick. So when the brand moved into the Australian lollies aisle, it needed to be unmistakably Chupa Chups in a category where every competitor already claims fun.

Brittney Rigby sits down with Amelia Goldsmith (Brand Manager, Chupa Chups ANZ) and John Fairley (Design Director, The Idea Shed) to unpack "Free the Funshine": where the portmanteau came from, why John stood up and sang the jingle live in the pitch, and how having a genuine audio asset in hand shaped where the campaign ran.

They get into nostalgia as an advantage rather than a strategy, making the case for jingles in rooms that have stopped asking for them, turning the famous Dalí daisy into a distinctive asset, running audio enabled out of home at Parramatta Westfield, and how the Nova and Coles Radio partnerships carried the same sound from awareness all the way to the checkout.

Plus the jingles they still can't shake: Cadbury's Fudge, Mojo, and Cottee's.

A must listen for anyone in marketing, advertising, FMCG or audio.

Aussie radio and audio reaches more than 15 million people every week. It's where brands are heard.
