Mastercard Sonic Trophy — FutureLabs and Octagon Win Bronze at Creative Circle Awards

Daniel Hewitt

We are thrilled to announce that our collaborative work with Octagon and MadeByDoing on the groundbreaking 'Mastercard Soundtrack Trophy' has been awarded a Bronze at the prestigious Creative Circle Awards.

The Mastercard Soundtrack Trophy was a truly innovative project that brought together the worlds of music, sports, and technology. We created live, original soundtracks for every Rugby World Cup match, transforming the game into a captivating audio-visual experience. 

By blending the electrifying moments of the official Rugby World Cup commentary with the creative genius of eclectic musicians, tastemakers, and emerging talent, we crafted unique soundtracks that told the story of each match in a completely fresh and engaging way.

At the heart of this project was the Mastercard Sonic Studio, a dynamic production hub that came to life during every 80 minutes of play. Our teams worked tirelessly to capture the energy and excitement of the matches, translating it into music that resonated with fans around the world.
