02 / Sound Check

why music, why now?

The story behind the studio — short version: MENA storytelling is loud, but music sits at the edge of most agencies' offering, not the centre. That's the gap we exist to fill.

$650m

MENA influencer ad spend in 2025 — projected to be 50% of all digital media spend within 5 years.

people expect brands to have a sonic identity. You can already hear Netflix, McDonald's & Intel just reading this.

48 hrs

Our promise: brief us today, and in 48 hours you'll know who's interested, who's available, and rough budgets.

The gap we fill

Agencies offer talent and branded content services — but rarely with a music speciality. A-listers are hard to reach. Underground talent is hard to find. Storytelling gets the spotlight; the soundtrack gets outsourced. We do it the other way around.

01

Outsourcing centric

Most agencies outsource the music in every brief. We bring it in-house.

02

Talent monopoly

A-listers are hard to reach; underground talent is hard to find. We sit in the middle.

03

Music is an afterthought

Music sits at the edge of most agencies' offering, not the centre — leaving the category wide open.

Our team have worked on music branded content projects with the following brands

Brand logos: New Balance, Pepsi, PUBG, Lay's, Garnier, Samsung, Sephora, Durex, Hershey's, EA Sports, Make Up For Ever, Galaxy, Philips, Adidas, Nutella, Barn's, Lipton, City Centre Beirut, KFC, Marks & Spencer
