By creating bespoke pieces of work for each commission, their music and jingles for advertisements are perfectly matched to the products being promoted. Music has the ability to bypass the intellect and connect to listeners and viewers on a subconscious level. This dramatically increases the impact of your message and ensures that its essence is felt on a visceral level.

Loud Crowd Music are able to produce exceptional quality work for jingles in a variety of genres. Robert Upward’s music for Country Racing Victoria’s advertisement ‘It’s Got It All’ won a nomination for APRA Music for Screen Awards, Best Music for an Advertisement 2016. Robert composed a song that was influenced by country music, and perfectly reflected the country lifestyle and the) excitement of a day at the races. The sound design for the Kia advertisement ‘Refuel’ required a commission to match the high tech action on screen perfectly with musical timbres and soundscapes which enhance the message of the advertisement and create an even more memorable impression in the listeners’ mind. Angie Coffey lead the way on the highly acclaimed commercial ‘Keyhole’, for James Boag premium lager. This advert is inspired by the films of Alfred Hitchcock and a famous black and white photograph by Helmut Newton in which a lady peers through a keyhole. A reflection of Angie’s skill, and the level of trust placed in her by clients, the music was conceived before the Hollywood director Richard Franklin (famous for films such as Blue Lagoon) had directed the video shoot. Unusually, the music therefore also became inspiration for the cinematography, and was played on location at the shoot.
Loud Crowd Music were also trusted by Australian company Sushi Sushi to produce the sonic branding for their advertisement. The team at Loud Crowd created a sophisticated piece of work, including voice over to demonstrate the quality of food being offered by Sushi Sushi, as well as reinforcing the traditions behind the food. A further example of their versatility is the music composed for the Primus Telcom Seven Cents Sundays advert -a hilarious spoof on James Bond films and themes. This quirky piece of music again did what they do best at Loud Crowd Music – use sound to reinforce the message of the advert.
