Wasa finds their authentic brand sound

Wasa, a 100-year-old Swedish food brand, partnered with Epidemic Sound to redefine their global identity through music. The "Sounds good" platform successfully blended Scandinavian heritage with global appeal, enhancing their brand storytelling.

The challenge

As part of the Barilla Group, Wasa aimed to expand globally while maintaining the essence of their traditional roots. They needed a brand sound that was authentic to their product and culture, yet flexible enough to resonate with a broader, global food audience.

The solution

Wasa collaborated with Epidemic Sound to craft a brand sound that embodied both tradition and innovation. Epidemic’s music curators built a custom music catalog of around 100 tracks by Swedish artists, handpicked to align with Wasa’s brand values.

Results and impact

With Epidemic Sound’s comprehensive music license covering their 15 core markets, Wasa distributed content effortlessly across borders and customized tracks to fit their specific needs.
