A new way to listen to music ?What If! partnered with Steinway to develop the brand strategy and go-to-market plan for Spirio, the first major new product launch from Steinway in 70 years.

Technology meets sound Spirio is a technological and experiential breakthrough: a masterpiece piano able to replay the performances of live artists in their identical form.

Connecting to a new audience of listeners Our challenge was to activate Spirio as a powerful new way to connect with the large number of music listeners and cultured achievers beyond Steinway’s traditional base. To get there, we dug deeply into what a great experience means for the cultured achievers we intend to engage. We identified what territory we should own, developed the name we should adopt, and imagined a set of inventive ways to introduce Spirio to the world and help our new audiences get to know us and fall in love.
