Background

 

You’ve already created a logo animation for Lenovo, now we need the sound.

 

As a global leader in the PC and consumer electronics space, Lenovo is known for its cutting edge smartphones, tablets and laptops. Whether you’re reading with your Yoga Tablet in bed or using your X1 Carbon at work, Lenovo has your technology needs covered. 

 

Over the years, Lenovo has built a solid foundation through its innovative products and its consumers have grown to associate the Lenovo logo with quality and reliability. Recently we’ve taken that logo and brought it to life and we need your Audio Track to take it to the next level. We all know Intel’s unmistakable chime and now it’s your turn to create a signature sound for Lenovo.

 

Objectives

 

The goal of this project is to create an Audio Track up to 10 seconds long. This sound does not need to complement Lenovo’s logo animation. Please note that if your audio track is selected as a winner, you may be asked to create a cut down version of your track.

 

--Target Audience: The core target audience is a younger consumer (18 - 24) who has a strong sense of personal style and a willingness to pay a premium for products that he/she feels make a statement about him/her. They value simplicity in life and design and they appreciate brands that are inclusive and help them to make sense out of their often-chaotic lives. They are a global audience – spanning mature markets like the US, Germany and Australia but also emerging markets like China, Russia, India and Indonesia.

 

--Tone: The tone should be in alignment with the target audience. The Audio Track should feel young, vibrant and full of energy. It should have a premium feel and should convey a sense of openness, optimism and approachability. It should also feel global, appealing to a diverse range of cultures and mindsets.

 

--Exposure: Lenovo website, end of web videos etc. Think of your Audio Track as a digital sign-off for the brand.
