We had the feeling that we were at the right place with the right sound, with the right music.

Life in motion
Modern, robust & on the move
Challenge
Michelin is diversifying its activities beyond tires by committing itself to the development of the hydrogen sector and the promotion of sustainable mobility and wishes to illustrate this with a new sound identity.
Michelin wanted a strong sound signature for their new positioning: ‘Innovating for a better life on the move’.
Sonic identity
Reliable, enthusiastic and innovative, Michelin’s new sound identity embodies the promise of improving life in motion. It combines powerful electric guitars and light acoustic notes to create a sound identity that is modern, robust and warm.
Results
Michelin’s new audio identity is widely perceived as modern, dynamic and well-suited to the brand, with high approval ratings in France, the United States, China and India.
It effectively expresses Michelin’s role as a manufacturer of automotive parts with its slogan ‘Motion for life’, enhancing proximity to its customers.
