About

We are Makewaves Audio – a full-service audio studio based in Stockholm, Sweden, creating brand-driven creative audio innovation and sonic experiences in harmony with technology.

Founded in 2019, we are a multidisciplinary team of sound designers, composers and audio artists, united by a shared passion for purposeful sound. We believe that audio is more than just functional – it’s a core narrative device, capable of shaping emotion, guiding perception, and reinforcing identity.

To us, audio lends weight and emotion to content and not only complements, but completes the narrative. Whether for a physical product, a digital interface, an advert or a cinematic experience, we design sound that communicates, connects, and resonates – on brand, across mediums and at every moment.

Our work is driven by an ambition to translate brands, ideas, and values into sound that feels strategic, intuitive and emotionally true. We are deeply passionate about the creative process and our goal is to retain curiosity in our approach and our ever-evolving attitude towards audio as a creative means of communication and storytelling.

–Together let´s tell stories, together let´s make waves!

About

We’ve had the privilege of working with some of the world’s most forward-thinking brands and agencies, bringing sonic clarity to everything from product ecosystems to broadcast identities.

We draw from decades of combined experience in advertising, branding, technology, broadcast, and entertainment, working with clients who trust us to elevate their project – not just aesthetically, but meaningfully and strategically from an audio perspective.

Over the years, our team has partnered with global names such as Volvo, Porsche, Samsung, LG, KIA, Reebok, Nike, New Balance, Trek, Head, Gucci, Nissan, Canon, BBC, Sky, Ubisoft, Niantic, Lego, Securitas, Nvidia, Coca-Cola, Lipton, NASA/ISS, Rolls-Royce, Masimo Corp, and Bentley Motors, as well as leading agencies including Ogilvy, AKQA, DDB, Iris, TBWA, Moving Brands, Kurppa Hosk, M+C Saatchi and Eidra.

What sets us apart is our ability to understand the nuance of branding and communication – to grasp a brand’s tone, purpose, and emotional resonance, and translate it into sonic form that feels natural, intentional, and distinct.

Our clients come to us for our innovative mindset, our collaborative and curious approach, and our unwavering commitment to sonic excellence. We work flexibly – whether supporting a single phase of a project or leading the entire sonic direction from concept to completion.

What brings clients back is not only the quality of our work, but the way we work – collaboratively, insightfully, and with a deep understanding of their needs and ambitions. They often tell us they feel supported, understood, and confident throughout the process.

Daniel Sundin, Agency Manager, M+C Saatchi Stockholm

"The team at Makewaves audio really understands branding. They have a strong sense of tone and emotion and they turn that into audio that feels genuine and considered. What we value most is how involved they are, they take the time to work through the brief with us, paying attention to the details while keeping the bigger picture in mind. Working together is easy and collaborative and they’re simply great people to partner with, creative, supportive and flexible. We’re looking forward to continuing the collaboration."
