POWER OF AUDIO BRAND ASSETS
A graphic universe is not enough to build connections with the brand.
With most B2B and B2C organizations using virtually the same branding tools, they’re arguably seeing less advantage as a result of their efforts — if they’re realizing any advantage at all.
To gain advantage on this leveled playing field, there’s one powerful branding tool that has been generally overlooked — or perhaps undervalued — by most marketers: sound. (Sonic Branding)
With of our increasingly audio-enabled media environment, the strategic use of sound can play an important role in positively differentiating a product or service, enhancing recall, creating preference, building trust, and even increasing sales.

YOUR SOUND, YOUR SOUL
Sound assets are key to strong brands.
The Nokia and Intel jingles, the Jaws or Bond themes, someone singing ‘Im lovin’ it’, or the deep voice of a German man saying ‘Das Auto’. The ting sound you associate with sparkly clean teeth or when you sit down at the end of the day to relax and hear the “Ba Bam” on Netflix - these are all memorable sounds we associate with brands.
Sound is a powerful way to connect with people.
As a sonic branding agency, we've built fantastic working relationships over the last 20 years.

He always gives great creative options when sound designing and has no problem in going the extra mile. As a sound engineer it is impossible to fault him. Fast, efficient and his work is always faultless. Truly recommend working with Chris, not only is a a great profesional but also a really nice guy.”
David MorganExecutive Producer at What's Possible Group
“I have had the rare privilege of working with Chris for four years at Expo 2020 and he has been an incredibly loyal and dedicated colleague. Chris has such a huge diverse skill across multiple creative film, audio and digital platforms and software processes. He has been instrumental in delivering mutilple and layered changing background sound to Expo as well as the sonic identities, digital screen content and of course the brilliant production of the inspiring and hopeful Expo theme tune. Chris has a artistic creative mindset twinned with the latest technology knowledge and the nohow to practically and logically implement.
