Sonic Branding

What does your brand sound like? ®

How can music & sound grow your business?

Sonic Branding helped Umpqua Bank leverage music to increase

account deposits by 20%.

Sonic Branding helped adidas Originals create

lines of over 200 people at store openings nation-wide

with no traditional

media buy.

“Brands with music that fits their brand identity are 96% more likely to be recalled than those with non-fit music or no music at all.”

Adrian North and David Hargreaves Leicester University

“Music is a shortcut to the heart.”

Kevin Roberts CEO, Saatchi and Saatchi

“Women who listened to music ran a minute or two longer than those who didn’t, adjusted their strides to run more efficiently, and had lower perceived exertion.”

Acadia University study, 2003

Music invigorates.

“Participants slept longer and better, and had less daytime dysfunction, after listening to 45 minutes of music before bed.”

Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2005

Music moves people.

Does your brand have a voice?

Step 1:

Define Brand Sound

ENERGETIC RELAXED

Where in the sonisphere does your brand reside? Rumblefish uses many tools (like the emotion-based “Sonisphere” diagram below) to help clients pinpoint the most authentic sonic expressions of their brand identity.

Music that expresses an organization’s identity is usually defined by a relatively narrow set of parameters.

Music that an organization wants to

use to enhance its customers’ experiences

must account for the range of their

audiences’ tastes and sensibilities.

An organization’s sonic logo or signature theme should express the “sweet spot” of their sonic identity.

Music that lies outside the parameters of an organization’s sonic

identity is off-brand and thus inappropriate as a

brand-building tool.

Step 2:

Develop a Strategy

Just like a logo, a sonic brand should be

consistent and effective across all touch points

Step 3:

Access to Music
