Where language reaches its limits, music conveys emotional messages, evokes nostalgia and expresses feelings that are universally understood in equal measure. These moving qualities give a brand a strong, tailored identity, offer unforgettable experiences for its clientele or employees and position the brand sustainably in the creative and cultural sector.
We are exposed to an omnipresent soundtrack. As a brand, so are you. Everything and everyone makes sounds, and all those sounds condense into noise. The challenge of creating recognizable and memorable auditory impressions that also mean something is daunting. A strategic approach that allows a brand to stand out from the "noise" and create meaningful connections through music and sound is more important than ever. Universal Music For Brands helps brands find their unique emotional sonic language to play and embed themselves in the hearts and minds of their target audiences.
To do this, we combine our deep expertise in data-driven market analysis with trend research, creative consulting, cutting-edge audio production and what we call pop culture design.
As industry experts, we use insights to find the right talent for your strategic goals. We identify trends, draw on the authentic passion of our artists and connect brands with the popular culture of tomorrow.
From live action productions to unique experiential events and viral content, we specialize in developing multi-platform campaigns. Want to tell a compelling story or create an unforgettable brand moment? We deliver innovative ideas that anchor your brand with reverberations in the cultural sector.
For us, innovation means pushing the boundaries of what's possible and surprising and delighting people in a fresh way. From award-winning VR campaigns to groundbreaking mobile apps, we're always exploring the latest developments and brand-specific opportunities in culture and technology.
Thanks to our local and global network in the entertainment sector, we find the right act for every occasion. In addition to classic booking requests, we organize events of any kind from A-Z including technical production, location, staff and catering. We are experienced in the realization of physical as well as digital events in the form of live streams.
