LAUSANNE, Switzerland & NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Ultimate Ears launched “Bring Music To Life,” a new global brand campaign that celebrates the transformative power of music. In collaboration with internationally renowned graffiti duo Bicicleta Sem Freio, the campaign brings together music and art to showcase the technology that Ultimate Ears fans love about their award-winning, wireless BluetoothⓇ speakers: 360-degree immersive sound, seriously waterproof and virtually indestructible. With a pinstripe suit-wearing octopus drummer, a rad sea monster and a boxing panther, Bicicleta Sem Freio brings each innovative feature to life in three original illustrations that are as irreverent, bold and creative as the Ultimate Ears brand.

“Music has the power to enhance, energize and connect people, and you feel this whenever you turn the speaker on,” said Charlotte Johs, general manager of Ultimate Ears. “The belief that you can spontaneously transform any moment with music - anytime, anywhere - is at the heart of every experience from Ultimate Ears. We don’t just make speakers, we bring music to life.”
This global campaign kicks off with three videos and digital advertising featuring artwork by Bicicleta Sem Freio, followed by a phased rollout of a new logo and more eco-friendly packaging.
