Hans Zimmer brand score
VOX Cinemas commissioned composer Hans Zimmer to write an original sonic identity for the chain, blending orchestration with regional musical influences for its multicultural audience. The score debuted inside a regional brand campaign from mid-April 2025.
- The brief
- Cinemagoers in every VOX market, for a chain that wanted a sound tied to its name.
- The idea
- VOX commissioned Hans Zimmer to compose an exclusive score for the brand, to play in its next campaign, inside cinemas and in customer service interactions.
- What to borrow
- A cinema brand can own a sound the way it owns a logo, and a famous film composer makes that sound credible.
