With “The Grand,” beIN SPORTS unveils its new sonic identity
We are thrilled to present beIN SPORTS’ new sound identity, an original composition crafted in collaboration with the music and sound design agency, PHANTOM PUNCH.
With Rob Jager, a renowned Dutch producer known for his work with Nike and Sephora, we embraced the challenge of creating a sound identity that encapsulates the full spectrum of sporting intensity, while also reinforcing the beIN SPORTS brand’s commitment to excellence. “Creating a new, impactful, proprietary sound identity was a real challenge, all the more so when the previous one (“Sail” by the Awolnation group) had accompanied the channel for 10 years”, says Clément Cimarro, Creative Director at LAFOURMI.
This fresh sonic landscape will feature across beIN SPORTS’ advertising campaigns, spanning TV, radio, and digital platforms. “For the musical theme to become inseparable from the channel’s identity, it had to be based on a strong gimmick, and brass instruments appeared to be an obvious response to beIN SPORTS’ promise of ‘The Greatest Show on Earth,” explains Julien Boulfray, founder of PHANTOM PUNCH.
Moreover, the channel aims to incorporate this new sound periodically within its broadcasts (trailers, program jingles, etc.) and in its digital content (match highlights, podcasts, etc.).
“Sport is a unique emotional experience, and we wanted our sound identity to reflect that intensity and passion. We are convinced that this musical composition, the fruit of our fruitful collaboration with LAFOURMI, will become an inseparable part of the beIN SPORTS experience,” comments Isabelle Guerin, Marketing Director at the media platform.
