SÉRIES MANIA

Séries Mania, Europe’s leading series festival, launched a sonic identity in 2023 that celebrates creativity. It was designed to enrich the brand’s digital content, highlight key moments of the festival, and deepen the audience’s emotional engagement.

The sound for the WORLD’S LARGEST SHORT FILM FESTIVAL

Challenge

A pop culture meeting and a temple of fiction creation, Séries Mania needed a sonic identity that would also reflect its ambition: to showcase the best in global storytelling with the presence of renowned talent.

Based in Lille since 2018, Séries Mania has established itself as the largest European event entirely dedicated to TV series. Its festival features international premieres on the big screen, along with a professional forum and a training institute.

Sonic concept

Refinement, creativity, softness, and a touch of madness… The sonic identity reflects the festival and its programming: a mix of genres and musical styles that embodies the richness of series and the multidisciplinary spirit of the event.

A strong hook, organic and powerful sounds, and ultimately just a few key elements—the creative choices allow the sonic identity to adapt across all touchpoints, crafting a powerful musical narrative that conveys the event’s prestige, emotion, and vibrancy.
The soundscape is modern, dynamic, and welcoming, breaking away from traditional codes to highlight creativity.

Outcome

The sonic strategy keeps the festival alive throughout the year, strengthens its international stature, and deepens the emotional connection with its diverse audiences.

Séries Mania reflects the transformation of a rapidly growing market. The tailor-made sound acts as a marker of identity, differentiation, and emotional attachment.
The sonic identity makes the experience more powerful, more memorable, and more unique for all audiences.
