The Challenge

Monsha’at stands at the heart of Saudi Arabia’s SME ecosystem, supporting thousands of businesses across the Kingdom. The challenge was to create a sound that embodies this momentum—one that could inspire entrepreneurs, elevate national initiatives, and feel equally at home across digital platforms, live events, and public campaigns.

Our Process

We identified Monsha’at’s core values—empowerment, innovation, and progress—as the emotional pillars of the sonic identity. Working with both modern and traditional instruments, we composed a sound that blends optimism with heritage, using melody to tell the story of entrepreneurial growth.

The Solution

At the core of Monsha’at’s sonic identity is a bold, six-note sonic logo—performed using piano and oud to symbolize both innovation and cultural grounding. We expanded this into a full system:

  • A Sonic DNA Track – dynamic and uplifting, capturing the energy of continuous growth
  • Adaptations for Key Moments – variations tailored for SME events, National Day, and public communications
  • The Sonic Logo – an audio signature that reinforces the brand across digital platforms, videos, and announcements

Each element was designed to be scalable, flexible, and emotionally engaging—built to evolve with the brand’s journey.

The Impact

Monsha’at’s sonic identity now brings consistency, inspiration, and energy to every touchpoint. From national events to social media content, the sound strengthens recognition and deepens emotional connection. More than just branding, it’s a soundtrack for the future of entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia.

For the launch of its limited-edition Falafel Shack Burger, Shake Shack partnered with MusicGrid to compose an original soundtrack for the campaign. The goal was to create a sound that felt as bold and flavorful as the burger itself—something distinctly regional, rhythmically modern, and instantly attention-grabbing across TV, digital, and in-store ads.
