“And what's interesting is the agency usually comes back and says 'this is amazing, how did you... this sounds, like, better than our music productions! This is, like, so authentic! This has grip! This seems like the Beatles in the garage!' And I said 'that's what every agency guy wants.' They want to find the Beatles in the garage, or Coldplay, or U2, or whatever, and be able to say 'I was the first one who heard this.'" -- Uli Reese This week's guest left his hometown of Stuttgart to attend university in Los Angeles and begin his career as an orchestra conductor, composer, and orchestrator in Hollywood, working on shows like Paramount's Star Trek: The Next Generation and Disney's DuckTales. He's an author, scholar, and co-owner of sonic-branding consultancy Amp, a five-time Cannes Lions speaker, and he's considered one of the main thought-leaders in the audio branding industry. From a Lion to an Emmy, he's won almost every industry award possible for his work, and over the last decade, Uli's book series 101 Great Minds on Music, Brands and Behavior added a significant contribution to the education and understanding of sonic branding on both the agency and brand side.Through over two hundred conversations with the most influential leaders in marketing, his mission is to change the conversation we're having about sonic branding. His name is Uli Reese, and I have no doubt this conversation will be as fascinating as it is enlightening.

A Creator EconomyWe start off the interview by talking about Uli's thirteenth appearance at the prestigious Cannes Lions festival and his firsthand perspective on just how much it's changed over the years. "Thirty years ago," he recalls, "it was guys getting together saying I spent five million on this commercial or I got the Beatles and it was kind of an inside club. And now it's like the creator economy." We discuss the role that a stubborn piano teacher played in helping to shape his childhood love of sound and take a closer look at this century's democratization of content creation all over the world. "If you have content that people want to see," he says, "and you're in the Amazon, you scale. You call the shots." Two Seconds to Understand“I knew I wanted to write for film," Uli tells us as we recount his early career, "so I did my school, finished that, and I knew I wanted to go to the U.S. because this was where things were made." He talks about how music school in America turned out to be not at all what he'd hoped until a professor's recommendation helped him find his true calling at the Dick Grove School of Music. He tells us about his work as a composer on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the lessons it taught him about audio branding and creating an immediate audience reaction. "You need," he says, "within two seconds to understand 'oh, Star Trek: The Next Generation is on,' or The Simpsons, or Star Wars." Owning the BodyOur talk about the future of audio branding continues as he compares Mastercard's groundbreaking new Sonic Space to other pop-cultural brands we might not normally consider. “It's like Billy Eilish writing a Bond song,” he explains,...

Multi-instrumentalist John Mahon's early days were based in drums, recording and performing jazz, progressive jazz, rock, R&B and pop music with bands in Northeastern Ohio. Moving to Los Angeles in 1983, he continued to play and study music. John has studied with David Garibaldi, Robert Edwards and at the Dick Grove School of Music along with many other teachers around the globe. As a singer and drummer, John was featured with the band Windows and went from there to record and tour with Peter White. This led to tours and gigs with Al Stewart, Helen Reddy, Boney James and Rita Coolidge. As a percussionist and vocalist, John backed up Three Dog Night's Chuck Negron. Before joining Elton's band, John's own band, The Stickmen, included future Elton bassist Bob Birch. As a writer, producer and programmer John has composed soundtrack albums for Wild Whirled Music, smooth jazz songs with Rick Braun and produced commercials for Ray Charles. John was originally hired for the Elton John Band as a percussionist, but during tour rehearsals it was discovered that he could add his vocal talents to the mix — and now John is often spotlighted in concert as a harmony vocalist on songs like Daniel and Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word. eltonjohn.com/the-band/john-mahon
