Stephen Arnold Music, the World Leader in Sonic Branding™ was selected to bring a dynamic new sound to “Washington Week.” Produced by PBS and WETA-TV and now running for over 50 years, “Washington Week” is renowned as one of America’s longest-running public affairs programs.
The sonic branding expertise of Stephen Arnold Music was central to developing a distinctive, easily recognizable and accessible identity for “Washington Week”, which is moderated by Robert Costa and has long been lauded for its non-partisan approach to journalism.
The Stephen Arnold Music team collaborated closely with WETA/PBS on their clear vision for the sound’s direction, which accompanies an updated set and graphics package. The result is music that expresses the program’s journalistic integrity and mission with a modern, energetic, clean and forward-looking sensibility. The music package themes combine orchestral Americana with a driving jazz feel, utilizing an agile arrangement of keys, strings, horns, timpani, and effected drums.
“It was a privilege working with WETA/PBS to carry out their vision of updating the sonic brand of such an iconic and venerable program, and musically relaying the show’s unique ability to cover serious topics in an intelligent and lively fashion," says Chad Cook, Vice President, Creative for Stephen Arnold Music.
