Department of Noise elaborates Sound Identity by Groupe Mutuel

Groupe Mutuel is undergoing a transformation. The insurer has sharpened its strategy and is increasingly focusing on the combination of health and pension provision. The associated rebranding was developed in collaboration with the agency MetaDesign Lausanne: Both the brand identity and the visual identity were revised and modernized (Werbewoche.ch reported). Department of Noise was brought in to develop and execute sound and music based on brand strategy. A comprehensive system of sound assets was created to help convey the brand message coherently and emotionally at all touchpoints. The new brand identity focuses on closeness to people and their lived serenity: Groupe Mutuel takes care of all their customers' health issues so they can enjoy life carefree and worry-free. This is also underlined by the campaign "True Life" developed by the agency Numéro10, which has been played out since Monday (Werbewoche.ch reported). The insurer also drew on the expertise and brand knowledge of Department of Noise for this measure. "The campaign for the brand launch should be 100 percent in line with the new brand. Accordingly, it was obvious that the music for it should trigger the same feeling as the sound identity and accordingly come from a single source," explains Stéphane Andenmatten, Deputy Director, Head of Communications & Brand at Groupe Mutuel. "Our new sound perfectly supports our brand's sweet spot between empathy and optimism. It is a powerful and versatile tool for us to underline our positioning in our communication." Groupe Mututel's new sound has been in use in various guises since the brand launch.
