Syngenta Group Global Orchestra

As the world’s leading agricultural technology company and innovator, the Syngenta Group’s work is still deeply rooted in nature.

We have created a unique sound for them, that is inspired by the four seasons, that are crucial to all farmers in the world.

To let all employees experience this new sound and to let them connect to it, we came up with the idea of bringing them all together in one Global Orchestra.

After breaking down the music into notes and play-alongs, more that 120 employees participated and sent in their interpretations of the piece on various instruments that we could then arrange to form the Syngenta Group Global Orchestra Suite.

EWE Audio Branding

We’ve been working for our client EWE AG – active in the fields of electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, and information technology – since 2016. They have just refreshed their visual identity which also led to an update of their audio identity on which we at why do birds have worked on for the past 12 months. Check out their new brand movie with our brand sound here. Credits for the film go to Syndicate Design AG. Thanks to all involved Michael Schimming Christine Tapken Nils Brönstrup Jörg Hammermeister Magdalena Bauer

Syngenta Group – Audio Branding

This year, we worked on a holistic audio branding for Syngenta Group and Syngenta Group China.

With the new sound identity, we are bringing all Syngenta Group brands together to create a truly global sound – with the story of growth, nature and a better, greener, healthier world at its heart. The process culminated in a brand sound launch, where employees were asked to contribute to a version of the brand music.

“This is the next big step in Syngenta Group’s global brand identity,” said Sven Fritzsche, Head of Brand, Partnerships and Digital at the company, who led the project. “To provide a comprehensive experience, you need to engage all the senses. We’ve now added sound.”

The audio branding project won the 2021 Red Dot Award.
