Happy New Year from all of us at Howard Audio! 🎊
As we step into 2025, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an incredible 2024 filled with groundbreaking projects and unforgettable collaborations that have truly defined our commitment to sound and music excellence.
Last year was packed with achievements:
🌍 We tackled serious issues with Amnesty International’s #ScanTheScar campaign, raising awareness about teen pregnancy in South Africa.
📚 Our involvement in the Solid Gold Story Time podcast, which won Podcast of the Year, helped promote literacy among children through immersive soundscapes.
🚗 The Toyota Hilux ad showcased our expertise in blending music and sound design, earning a Creative Circle SA #bestofthemonth award.
🎵 The Afrikaraoke project allowed us to preserve African heritage by recording culturally significant songs.
🍰 Our work on the KFC ‘40th Cake’ ad led to a Craft Award for our head of sound, Paul Theodorou.
🏆 At the SAFTAs, our innovative approach was recognized, underscoring our leadership in sound design for film and television.
🎺 Swingin’ Las Vegas brought the house down at The Teatro, proving once again the allure of live big band performances.
🏅 Our creative excellence shone brightly at the Loeries, where we picked up multiple awards across various categories.
🎄 A Swingin’ Christmas with the @johannesburg_big_band was a festive highlight, demonstrating the growing capabilities of Howard Events in creating unforgettable live experiences.
…and so many more incredible moments we couldn’t fit into just one post!
We’re grateful for your support and thrilled about the new adventures 2025 holds. Here’s to more innovative sound and music projects! Stay tuned! 🎶

This is what cultural preservation sounds like…
I’m grateful to have played a part in Afrikaraoke for Castle Milk Stout - a project dedicated to keeping traditional African songs alive.
Working with an incredible choir and cultural leaders, we recorded 12 powerful songs rooted in heritage, ensuring their stories live on for future generations.
These recordings were transformed into karaoke videos - as seen in this video - inviting communities to sing, connect, and celebrate their cultural roots in a way that’s both meaningful and fun.
Honored to be part of something that turns preservation into participation 🙌
Thrilled to share more great news!
Howard Audio has been recognized as an October #bestofthemonth winner by Creative Circle SA for our work on the Toyota Hilux ad. 🎉
This project was a creative tour de force, featuring a robust soundscape that matched the rugged allure of the Hilux.
Big thanks to director Anton Visser of Patriot Films and agency Publicis for bringing us on board for this epic project.
It’s always exciting to see our collaborative efforts celebrated, and it’s an honor to be acknowledged by Creative Circle SA. Here’s to more creative adventures and innovative soundscapes!

IS IT CAKE?!🍗
Thrilled to finally share this amazing project.
We had the honor of working on an incredible (and kind of crazy!) campaign for KFC Thailand, and it was nothing short of a creative marvel.
At Howard Audio, we were privileged to handle the original music and sound design, collaborating with an astounding team of talented individuals. From orchestrating dramatic musical crescendos to meticulously recreating the sounds of...cake, we tackled each challenge head-on.
This project was a true testament to what passionate creatives can achieve together. The energy and innovation brought to the table by everyone involved were truly inspiring.
A big shout out to the entire team whose hard work and dedication made this possible. It’s projects like these that remind us why we love what we do. ✨
