Have you noticed how our world has become visually richer since the growth of media and the social media explosion? Alongside this, we’re experiencing more diverse audio touchpoints than ever before. Think music streaming platforms, podcasts, a 30-second jingle used in adverts, in-store radio, on hold music, phone ringtones, computer sounds, audio cues, and so much more. Even just a little bit of sound can be powerful yet subtle, like an ‘earworm’, a tune that creeps into the mind and stays in your subconscious.
Just like video and visual design, creating sounds for brand identity requires expertise in sonic strategies. Instead of images, text or colour, developing a sonic identity involves understanding how multiple audio assets such as music, voice performance and sound effects can come together effectively to affect a consumer’s reaction and create brand recall.
Brad Power is a maestro in this field, with a decades-long career and awards under his belt.
