P&C Global Practices: Corporate Performance, Digital Transformation, Strategy & Innovation
Multi-Sensory Brand Client Engagement Overview
Global brands must engage customers at an emotional level to create lasting connections, fostering loyalty and differentiation in competitive markets. Recognizing this, P&C Global collaborated with a leading international airline to transcend traditional visual branding and develop a multi-sensory experience that reinforces the airline’s heritage and values. A powerful brand is no longer just about logos or colors—it must evoke emotion and create meaningful moments that passengers associate with their journey.
By integrating a bespoke sonic identity—the Symphony of Flowers—with a refreshed batik motif, P&C Global helped the airline craft an immersive brand experience that resonates with passengers at every touchpoint, from booking to boarding and beyond. This approach not only enhanced brand recognition but also deepened emotional engagement, transforming each flight into a uniquely memorable experience. The combination of sound, texture, and cultural storytelling ensured that the airline’s identity was not just seen but felt, strengthening its connection with travelers worldwide.
Brand Transformation Challenge
In an increasingly competitive aviation market, our client sought to redefine its brand presence through an innovative, multi-sensory approach that would evoke emotional engagement and enhance customer loyalty. While the airline was renowned for its exceptional service and iconic branding, it recognized the need to elevate its customer experience beyond visuals by incorporating sound as a fundamental element of brand storytelling. The challenge was to seamlessly integrate a sonic identity that reflected the airline’s luxury positioning, national heritage, and commitment to excellence, while ensuring consistency across all customer touchpoints.
Strategic Innovation & Execution
To ensure authenticity and impact, P&C Global applied its expertise in Strategy and Innovation to orchestrate a global collaboration involving world-class composers, sound designers, and orchestras. The Budapest Symphony Orchestra was engaged to record the symphony, bringing an unparalleled richness and depth to the music.
Leveraging advanced AI-driven sound mapping techniques, our proprietary Batik Instrument translated the color frequencies of the airline’s ten featured flowers into melodic compositions—further aligning the sound with the visual identity while reinforcing the airline’s commitment to technological innovation in branding. The Symphony of Flowers, a meticulously composed orchestral suite, was designed to capture the essence of the airline’s heritage, seamlessly blending elements of nature, culture, and luxury.
This initiative went beyond traditional branding—it was a scientifically precise fusion of sound and art. Each floral motif in the batik pattern was assigned a unique musical signature, ensuring that passengers experienced an orchestrated harmony of visuals and sound at every interaction.
Seamless Integration & Brand Elevation
The Symphony of Flowers was strategically embedded across multiple customer touchpoints to create a seamless and immersive brand journey:
Pre-Flight Experience: The symphony was introduced in airport lounges, boarding gates, and digital channels, setting a serene and premium ambiance before departure.
In-Flight Atmosphere: Custom-composed tracks played during boarding, takeoff, and landing, subtly reinforcing the airline’s brand identity and evoking a sense of calm and sophistication.
Integrated Digital Presence: The sonic identity was incorporated into the airline’s mobile app, customer service hold music, and in-flight entertainment system, ensuring a consistent brand experience across physical and digital environments.
Physical Branding Integration: The refreshed Batik Motif was seamlessly woven into crew uniforms, premium cabin decor, in-flight amenities, and even the airline’s co-branded luxury product line, creating a truly immersive brand ecosystem.
The rollout was meticulously executed, with precise coordination between branding, design, and technology teams to ensure a seamless transition. P&C Global also facilitated internal brand training, equipping employees with an in-depth understanding of the sonic identity’s cultural significance and its role in elevating the passenger experience.

The impact of this multi-sensory branding initiative was immediate and far-reaching:
Enhanced Customer Engagement: The Symphony of Flowers evoked strong emotional responses, with frequent flyers describing it as “a soothing and elegant auditory signature” that made them feel “at home” while traveling.
