OUR WORK

Different contexts. A clear intention.

A sonic identity is expressed through the relationship between the brand, its idea and the place where it is heard. These projects offer different entry points into that relationship: a cultural gathering, a mobile banking app, a runway show, the connection between academia and business, and a Guatemalan fintech.

Explore each case to hear the published piece and discover the context, creative concept and application described by Upper Sound.
