Our digital marketing agency has a team of experienced music and sound producers that specialize in audio branding, so we sat down with them to discuss what branded audio is all about and how it can help empower brands.
What’s branded sound all about?
Branded music and sound is music and sound that is produced to match a brand’s overall identity. Think of it as the music tracks and sound effects that play whenever a company’s logo comes up on a screen.
But startup sounds and jingles are not the only elements you can find in branded sound. In fact, a complete branded sound service encompasses the following:
Audio Identity
Producers create an audio identity by working together with a brand to transform the brand’s image and objectives into a coherent and engaging sound and music experience, or in other words, to create music and sounds that are unique to the brand.
Audio Logo
This is a sound effect or jingle that’s designed to generate brand recognition and recall. This is the audio version of a company’s logo.
Sound Design For Products
These are sounds that are custom-made by producers to enhance the user experience while people are using a brand’s app or device.
Audio Management
This is a recurrent service where producers stay in constant communication with brand managers to ensure all music and audio is coherent across all marketing channels.
