Audio Essentials: BYTE

SOUND ISN'T JUST SOMETHING YOU HEAR

Introducing Mark Chadwick, our guy behind BYTE and the all new Audio Essentials.

I’m Mark Chadwick, Voiceover, Sound Designer and Audio Branding Specialist with over 25 years of experience. I don’t just create audio, I craft moments that connect with audiences on a deep emotional level.

My credits span Galaxy, Kiss, Sky Sports, Juventus FC and beyond. Byte brings edge, tone, and identity to audio brands that want to sound bigger, sharper, and more human.
From razor-sharp radio imaging and cinematic video shells, to podcast elements and original series like The Department (produced by Cold Open Studios, Trailhead Audio’s experimental unit), Byte is engineered to elevate.
LET AUDIO LEAD THE WAY

"I’ve been a leading voice in the radio imaging world: the UK, Spain, Dubai, Australia, Beirut. The Galaxy Network. The world-famous Kiss Network. The Bauer Network."

What is Byte?

Byte is the in-house content drop from Audio Essentials, a curated subscription of ready-made audio, built to be used. It’s made for creators who want to sound bigger, sharper, and more human. Because sounding the same, isn’t working!

What’s inside?

Byte is split into three powerful audio streams:
  • Radio Imaging: punchy, personality-driven IDs and promos
  • Podcast Elements: branded stabs, intros, transitions and tone
  • Cinematic Shells for Video: rich and immersive audio beds for creators

You can subscribe to a single stream or unlock the full Byte experience.

The full package also gives you access to original audio series from Cold Open Studios, including The Department, a bold, format-breaking show from Trailhead Audio’s experimental storytelling arm.

Why Byte?

Created by global audio producer Mark Chadwick, Byte brings together the best of brand imaging, sound design, and narrative audio under one banner built to help content creators, broadcasters, and marketers stand out.
This isn’t just another content drop. It’s Byte… and we will be lanching in August 2025.
