Lewis Road Creamery – Chocolate Milk | 10 Years TVC – “Never Makes It Home”

For Lewis Road Creamery

We had the pleasure of producing a bespoke brand track for Lewis Road Creamery’s latest TVC, celebrating the 10th anniversary of their iconic chocolate milk, in collaboration with Lewis Road Creamery and their agency, Chemistry. Drawing from the brand sting we previously created and various key references from Lewis Road, we produced a track that begins sparsely, evoking a sense of anticipation, gradually building to a light crescendo before returning to the initial sparseness to bring the story full circle. The arrangement, featuring double bass, violin, piano, and guitar, was crafted to sound organic and enhance the kiwi narrative, with the original Lewis Road Creamery brand sting seamlessly woven in at the end to frame the production. Our studio also handled all sound design and managed the full audio post-production for the TVC.

Norwood Agriculture Audio Signature

For Harvey Cameron Advertising / Norwood Agriculture

Immersing ourselves in the essence of rural life, we were tasked by Harvey Cameron Advertising to craft the Norwood Agriculture audio signature. Inspired by Norwood’s tagline, “keeping farmers moving,” we incorporated a dynamic element—making the tractor move within the stereo image. This, alongside foley of tires on gravel roads, farm ambience, and a rhythmic interplay of acoustic guitar and synth bass harmonics, culminated in a bespoke audio identity that not only reflects Norwood’s ethos but also embodies Norwood’s support for farmers who use their services.

Lewis Road Creamery – Brand Sting

For Lewis Road Creamery Limited

We had the pleasure of crafting a unique brand sting for Lewis Road Creamery. This distinctive element is intended for inclusion in all their promotional video materials, both for the Lewis Road Creamery and Southern Pastures brands. Our involvement in this project encompassed the creation of a captivating piano melody, layered with the recording of a whistled rendition of the same melody. To infuse a touch of authenticity, we incorporated the characteristic moo of a cow, a sound we captured firsthand on Southern Pasture’s farms in Tokoroa earlier in the year. We then fused all these components during the production phase. Subsequently, we provided our audio post-production services, including editing, mixing, and mastering, to ensure a polished final product for delivery.
