Brands must
consider sound as
a core component
of their brand
architecture.
Max De Lucia
The Branding Journal
Everything we perceive with our ears affects every other perception and conscious thought. Sound gets in so fast that it modifies all other input and sets the stage for it.* That's why the sound you pair with visuals and brand messaging is a much bigger deal than you may have ever thought it was.
If you're using cookie-cutter stock sound and music, you're killing your ability to tell your brand story in a truly unique way and make it memorable and credible.
Sonic brand storytelling uses custom-designed sonic assets that echo the brand's voice, values and personality. It amplifies brand messaging and helps achieve a deeper level of brand differentiation.
Sound also drives emotions. That’s why it's a powerful way to create a more memorable, enduring brand story.

Sound gives you
sensory input that
is not limited by
field of vision.

Melody, harmony, and
rhythm create connection points to current or past experiences and emotions.
If you're looking for a way to tell a more memorable brand story and build a stronger brand, we can help you leverage the immense power of sound to ignite customer emotions. Sound is so powerful that ads with brand-fit sound elicit a higher emotional response, attention level, brand attitude, and purchase intent than those without sound.*
In fact, Leicester University has found that brands with music that fit their brand identity are 96% more likely to be recalled than those with non-fitting music.**
And, the negative impact of non-fit music on consumers is startling: surveys reveal that the wrong sound makes 44% leave, and when they do, a whopping 38% won’t come back.
And what about silence? It causes consumer discomfort.***

Used strategically over time, sonic brand storytelling can make your brand instantly recognizable and can help you deliver highly engaging, enduringly memorable customer experiences and activations.
Delivered consistently, the right brand
sound can boost brand recall by 96%.*
Our Sonic Brandmasters will take into consideration your brand's existing visuals, brand messaging, target audience, and market position when developing sonic brand storytelling for your brand. The goal is to integrate your unique brand sound into brand narratives and activations to engage customers throughout the customer journey.
Sound gets routed quickly to precortical areas of the brain that are not part of the wiring for conscious thinking. These are the places where emotions are generated.
