Recommendation

The predominance of audio-enabled, networked communication means that sound accompanies visuals at almost every touchpoint. Communication experts Laurence Minsky and Colleen Fahey explain that sound conveys meanings that people instinctively and intuitively understand. Creating a unique audio identity for your brand capitalizes on the opportunity to reinforce your brand message and to enhance your customers’ experience. The authors cover the basics of audio branding, which they extrapolate primarily from Fahey’s experience as managing director of the audio-branding firm Sixième Son. Although the information is very sound – no pun intended – the text sometimes promotes the company as well. getAbstract recognizes the value of this often-overlooked aspect of branding and recommends this solid manual to anyone in marketing. 

Take-Aways

  • An audio brand reflects a brand’s personality and delivers a consistent message across its consumer touchpoints and in various contexts.
  • Audio branding differentiates the brand, boosts recall and creates positive associations.
  • Your audio brand builds on the brand’s foundation, translating it into melody, rhythm, tempo and harmonies to create the “Audio DNA.”
