Sonic identity development

In a world of ‘us-too’ lookalike brands, winning business recognise audio is the key point of difference.

For brands who aren’t one-note.

Branding is a fine art. But a quick Google would have you believe it’s easy, because there are thousands of agencies out there offering the same services: some strategic thinking, ‘big ideas’, and lots of lovely graphic design.

The problem? Sight isn’t the only sense. And since seemingly everyone is offering (visual) branding services, it’s harder than ever to stand out.

That’s where we come in. We’re the world’s leading experts on audio branding. Think of Netflix’s ‘da dum’ sonic logo, or any of Coca-Cola’s iconic original songs, and you’ll know immediately what we mean.

But audio branding goes far beyond melodies and music: epic voiceovers, notification chimes, sonic speaker skills, even a podcast or digital series – if you can hear it, we can brand it.

60% of people believe music used in marketing is more memorable than visuals.

Improves brand recall

Unique audio – be that a track, notification chime, or sonic logo – can help to build brand recognition and recall every time your customers hear it, becoming synonymous with your brand over time.
