Kinderling Kids Radio: Station-wide sonic branding package

Kinderling Kids Radio: Station-wide sonic branding package
Kinderling Kids Radio: Station-wide sonic branding package
This project involved designing and executing a sonic branding package for a new Australian digital radio station broadcasting content aimed at families with children aged between 0 and 7 years. It broadcasts 24 hours a day on DAB Radio across Australia, and round the world via the internet and streaming applications on Android and Apple mobile devices.

The entire package included creating a station theme and around twenty program IDs (identities), as well as dozens of other elements derived from it. The station’s mission is to stimulate children’s curiosity and imaginations through sound alone, providing creative alternatives to screen-based activities, and the branding package therefore explores how an inclusive, age-appropriate identity (in this case for an organisation, the broadcaster) can be constructed by the interaction of creative music- and sound-design choices.

Regarding reach and impact, Kinderling has 200,000 weekly listeners, the podcasts have 200,000 downloads per month, and was awarded Best Digital Radio Format at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards in 2016.

Abstract

This project involved designing and executing a sonic branding package for a new Australian digital radio station broadcasting content aimed at families with children aged between 0 and 7 years. It broadcasts 24 hours a day on DAB Radio across Australia, and round the world via the internet and streaming applications on Android and Apple mobile devices.

The entire package included creating a station theme and around twenty program IDs (identities), as well as dozens of other elements derived from it. The station’s mission is to stimulate children’s curiosity and imaginations through sound alone, providing creative alternatives to screen-based activities, and the branding package therefore explores how an inclusive, age-appropriate identity (in this case for an organisation, the broadcaster) can be constructed by the interaction of creative music- and sound-design choices.

Regarding reach and impact, Kinderling has 200,000 weekly listeners, the podcasts have 200,000 downloads per month, and was awarded Best Digital Radio Format at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards in 2016.
