The new sound of the GCC: Where heritage meets modernity in sonic branding
Across the GCC, a new wave of branding is making noise, quite literally. From government campaigns to cutting-edge startups, brands are no longer asking just how they should look or speak but how they should sound. And what's emerging is a powerful fusion: sonic identities that blend traditional Arabic sound elements with contemporary production and global branding strategies. This isn't just a creative trend it's a cultural and strategic shift that reflects the identity of a region in motion. Sonic branding in the Gulf is evolving to be just like its people: deeply rooted in heritage, yet boldly modern. The rise of sound as a strategic brand asset in the GCC Until recently, many brands in the region treated sound as an afterthought using generic music tracks or sound effects that felt polished, but impersonal. Sonic branding, if it was used at all, rarely reflected the brand's cultural identity or values. Today, that's changing. With a renewed regional focus on national identity, creative excellence, and digital innovation, sound is becoming central to brand strategy in the GCC. It's no longer about filling silence it's about crafting an intentional audio experience that connects emotionally and culturally. Brands are now asking: How do we sound like ourselves? And even more importantly: How do we sound like where we come from? Heritage meets high production The answer lies in a growing movement to incorporate regional sonic elements such as Arabic scales, Khaleeji rhythms, and traditional instruments like the oud, ney, and rebaba, into modern audio branding systems. But this isn't about being nostalgic or folkloric. It's about honoring heritage while shaping a modern identity. We're seeing sonic logos that blend the microtonal inflections of traditional music with futuristic synths and digital textures. UX sound design in apps and platforms is incorporating subtle percussive cues inspired by regional sounds. Even brand anthems once generic orchestral pieces are being rewritten with local musical DNA embedded in every note. This hybrid approach creates a sense of authenticity, familiarity, and differentiation. It's instantly recognisable to regional audiences, while still feeling current and forward-looking on the global stage. Sound as cultural storytelling in the GCC Sonic branding isn't just about recognition it's about resonance. And few things resonate more deeply than culture. By integrating heritage into sonic identities, brands are telling a story about who they are, where they come from, and what they stand for. Just as visual design might use calligraphy or regional patterns, audio branding can evoke the sounds of the desert, the souk, the sea, or the celebration. This is especially powerful in government and nation branding. Across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and beyond, national initiatives are investing in sonic branding that feels distinctly regional. It's not about mimicking Western cues of prestige or innovation it's about defining a regional sound that reflects pride, progress, and authenticity. Youth, innovation, and the sound of now Much of this movement is being driven by a young, creative generation. Local producers, composers, and sound designers are experimenting with new formats combining trap beats with Khaleeji percussion, cinematic soundscapes with traditional melodies, and building audio experiences that feel both fresh and rooted. A sonic identity that feels too foreign or generic won't connect. Today's audience is savvy; they crave realness, not just polish. This has led to a demand for culturally-informed sonic branding identities that are not just technically excellent but emotionally and culturally intelligent. Importantly, this isn't limited to advertising. Sonic branding now extends to a brand's entire ecosystem: • App and product interface sounds • Notification and transaction tones • Branded music for events and environments • Podcast intros, voice assistants, and smart devices • Even on-hold music and call center tones A consistent sonic identity across all these moments builds recognition, emotion, and trust. And when that identity carries cultural significance not just style it creates a deeper emotional connection with the audience. The competitive advantage of signature sound in the GCC As brands across the Gulf compete for attention in saturated digital environments, sonic branding offers a clear differentiator. Visual branding is expected. Great copy is common. But a sound that people recognise, remember, and feel something from? That's rare and extremely powerful. Especially in markets where many players share similar visual aesthetics or offer nearly identical services, audio becomes a brand's emotional fingerprint. It's how they stay with the audience not just during the campaign, but long after it ends. Brands that lead this movement will not only stand out they'll define the sound of the region's future. The GCC is experiencing a sonic renaissance. one where cultural pride meets creative innovation. Brands that embrace this fusion of tradition and modernity in their sonic branding aren't just following a trend they're shaping a new identity for the region. The question for every brand today is no longer just: What do we look like? It's: What do we sound like and does that sound belong to us? By Roudny Nahed, Partnership Manager at MusicGrid.

'chatlyn has fundamentally transformed our guest experience from reactive to proactive,' said Garry Loefgen, Head of Commercial at InterContinental Vienna. 'Our AI assistant handles over 70% of inquiries instantly in perfect German, English, Arabic, and many other languages, while our team focuses on creating magical moments.

The round included participation from AnyDesk founder Andreas Burike, Austrian transport leader Blaguss, business angel Mathias Hiebeler (former owner of Grob aircraft, acquired by Helsing), and strategic hospitality angels. The company also received an innovation grant from the FFG, Austria's national funding institution for industry-related research and development.
