Sound Branding Solutions For Your Business

Sound branding

 

What is Sound branding?

Sound branding is the way to convey your message to a broad audience and connect with customers by using music, sound, voice, sound effects, and any combination of these strategically.

Why is Sound branding important for your company?

Advances in technology and social media have changed people's behavior and consumption habits. Overwhelmed by the amount and diversity of available information, people have developed shorter attention spans and more demanding expectations from brands.

If they do not yet know a product or service, they will give it only a few seconds of attention before moving on.

That is why every effective brand strategy should include different senses to grab and hold people’s attention. Sound branding is the fastest way to engage and seize attention. It only takes around 0.146 seconds for human beings to react to sound.

Sound Branding is most effective when sound and other brand attributes are ideally aligned.

In the digital world that we live in, we use many media channels and touchpoints on a daily basis. Audio enabled media are increasing. Studies show that, in 2023, users made more than 1 billion voice searches every month. More than 50% of adults worldwide use voice searches daily, and 71% of people use voice assistants to play music. The choice of sound, music, and voice can determine whether you will connect with your customers or not.

Every company needs to find a genuine audio identity and stand out.

Audio identity aligned with visual identity, authentic to who you are, your vision values, what you stand for will reinforce your brand.

Your sound should be clear, simple, original, and consistent. With consistent use, your sound will be recognizable, and your customers can easily relate and connect through various touchpoints.

What is an Audio TouchPoint?

An audio touchpoint is any point of customer interaction with your brand that involves recorded or designed sound (voice, music, and/or sound effects).

Great audio branding is a team effort of marketing and sound experts. 

Marketing experts are researching the market, gathering data about your company - your mission, vision, values, products or services, target group, existing and potential touchpoints, brand visuals, and your competition.

They use data science to write a report so that sound designers and composers can, in the next step, create and develop your brand's unique sound, your Sound identity (Brand Sound DNA)
