Our Story

Two Decades of Strategic Audio Design

Ton & Spot was founded in 2005 in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg with a vision that was ahead of its time: audio shouldn’t be an afterthought. It should be strategic.

 

From the beginning, we focused on two industries where audio makes or breaks the experience – advertising and games. While other studios chased trends, we developed a methodology: Start with the question “What should this audio achieve?” before touching a single piece of equipment. This approach became our foundation.

 

As our client base grew, so did our expertise. In 2010, we expanded into audio for installations, point-of-sale environments, trade shows, and exhibitions – realizing that strategic audio design applies far beyond traditional media. By 2015, we had become specialists in multilingual audio production, bringing complex narratives to life for museums and cultural institutions worldwide.

 

In 2016, we opened a second studio in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region, extending our reach while maintaining the collaborative culture that defined our Berlin roots. In 2025 we relocated the Berlin studio from Prenzlauer Berg to our current location in Tiergarten right next to Potsdamer Platz.

 

Today, with over two decades of experience and two studio locations, we’re more convinced than ever that strategy-led audio design is the future. As AI and new technologies transform production workflows, the real competitive advantage isn’t in the tools you use – it’s in how you think about audio in the first place.

Who We Are

Ton & Spot is a collective of audio specialists: strategists, composers, sound designers, voice directors, sound engineers and technical implementers. We combine creative vision with technical expertise, strategic thinking with hands-on production. We work with a trusted network of specialists – ensuring every project has the right skills at the table, whether that’s a native Polish voice actor, a middleware expert, or a composer who specializes in your exact genre.

 

That’s how we solve your audio challenges with creativity, strategy, and craft.

TWO STUDIOS, ONE VISION

Our two studio locations give us the best of both worlds – Berlin's international creative energy and the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region's strategic access to corporate Europe. Both studios are fully equipped for professional audio production, connected by seamless workflows and a shared commitment to strategic audio design.

OUR VALUES

STRATEGY FIRST
We start every project with strategic questions about goals, audience, and desired outcomes. Production follows strategy – never the other way around.

This approach has guided us for over 20 years.

HONEST COLLABORATION
We tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. If AI is the smartest solution, we’ll say so. If only custom will work, we’ll explain why.

No upselling, no ego.

QUALITY WITHOUT EGO
Great audio serves your project – it’s not supposed to serve our ego.

We’re not here to win awards (though we appreciate them).

We’re here to help you achieve your goals.

CONTINUOUS EVOLUTION
The audio landscape has changed dramatically since 2005. We embrace new technologies and methods: AI, spatial audio, new workflows,…

Always through the lens of what serves your project best.
