Radio Ad: Using the technique of sound to pass a brand message.
payArena: Here & There
As Lead Creative on the team that delivered this award winning work, we developed Payarena: Here and There as a sound-led campaign to position the platform as fast and reliable in a market where speed defines trust. Despite the rise of digital payments in Nigeria, users still default to cash due to delays and system downtime, making instant completion the ultimate proof of reliability.
To bring this insight to life, we used immersive audio techniques in a radio spot, primarily achieved using 3D audio or binaural techniques, which simulate a three-dimensional sound environment to make the listener feel as if they are part of the action.
In the delivery and resonating it back to the brand, combining left-to-right panning with fast-forward and slow-motion effects to sonically mirror how quickly money moves on Payarena. Designed for stereo and headphone listening, the execution allowed audiences to hear speed - turning sound into a visceral expression of the brand’s core benefit.
