Overview

Orca Security offers pioneer cloud security for organizations through its agentless, cloud-native security platform. Recognizing that B2B technology leaders are increasingly media producers, Orca Security partnered with Sonic Minds to build a complete audio identity, including a signature audio logo, brand tracks, and podcast sound design assets.

The challenge

Orca Security wanted to strengthen their brand by using sound and music to express security, dependability, and trustworthiness. The core creative challenge was seamlessly fusing the technological world of cloud security with the naturalistic, oceanic qualities of the Orca whale into a modern, future-facing audio experience.

The name Orca immediately invokes the killer whale—symbolic of freedom, striking strength, and indomitable will. Orcas are social creatures that hunt in pods using unique acoustic calls and team collaboration. This provided the ideal creative foundation, drawing directly from pod dynamics and leveraging harmonies, unison voices, and free-flowing rhythms to evoke kinship, community, and daring action across every touchpoint.

“When we received the brief, it was clear that the Orca Security methodology was inherently influenced and defined by the strengths and behavioural qualities of the real-life Orca whale when thinking in terms of the company’s ambition, function, and personality.”

The solution

Composers Dave Reynaud and Amnon Freidlin collaborated to craft a comprehensive sonic universe combining electronic synthesis with biophilic acoustic techniques.

Audio logo

The audio logo represents the Orca: lethal against threats yet reassuring for allies. Combining underwater sound design, deep ocean bass notes, a rising security phrase, and an accentuating “bite” effect, it was mixed for spatial 3D audio to create an immersive experience.

Music toolbox

We created a custom music toolbox featuring tailored brand tracks and podcast breakers for Orca Security’s media channels:

Breaking Waves

A vibrant, hip-hop-inspired news track featuring wave sound design to support their bi-monthly company culture podcast.

Cloud Surfing

An upbeat, experimental high-tempo track crafted for major product launches, announcements, and events.

Podcast breakers

Short audio transitions and page-turners designed as musical punctuation marks within podcast episodes.

The result

The custom audio identity has successfully unified Orca Security’s multimedia channels, giving podcasts, video demos, and brand campaigns a recognizable, cohesive voice that reflects their position as an industry leader.

Words from client

“Today, every B2B technology company is a media company. That means producing a variety of multimedia content such as podcast episodes, customer testimonials, webinar replays, product demos, and more. Across these content assets, there needs to be consistent audio branding akin to what your company has for its visual identity. Failure to do so is a missed opportunity to make an emotional connection with prospective buyers and elevate your brand. Sonic Minds helped bring Orca Security’s audio branding to life through a powerful combination of passion, process, technology, and talent.”
