From Sound to Brand: The Process of Creating Sonic Branding
- Bohdan Fedor
Creating sonic branding involves a strategic process, blending creativity with a deep understanding of the brand. Here’s a look at the steps involved:
- Brand Research – Understand the brand’s values, audience, and competitors to align the sound with the brand’s identity.
- Defining the Brand Sound – Establish a sound direction (e.g., modern, vintage, upbeat) that aligns with the brand’s visual and emotional identity.
- Creating Audio Elements – Compose short audio logos, jingles, or ambient soundscapes that reflect the brand’s essence.
- Testing for Emotional Impact – Test sounds with target audience segments to gauge emotional response and adjust as needed.
- Implementation Across Channels – Apply the sonic brand to ads, digital interfaces, and in-store experiences for consistent exposure.
Through this process, brands can create a cohesive sonic identity that connects with audiences and strengthens brand presence.
