Sound identity

The sound identity is a kind of audio DNA that fits directly into the existing communication strategy. It’s made up of original music, used as a jingle and as a telephone greeting.

This sound strategy accompanies the brand through its communication campaigns.

It creates an emotional bond with the target audience. The aim is to stimulate the ear to generate maximum affect. This creates a feeling of belonging, which helps to reinforce brand awareness, increase target loyalty, and seek differentiation.

What ?

Sound identity is the exact equivalent of graphic identity, applied to audio.

Its aim is to create a bond of belonging with the target audience, reinforce brand awareness and increase customer loyalty.

It is made up of three elements that will accompany the brand’s communication:

  • Original music
  • Jingle
  • Telephone greeting

Where ?

It applies to all audio and audiovisual media used:

  • Videos (social networks, web, TV, cinema)
  • Podcasts
  • Radio spots
  • Points of sale
  • Events (trade shows, conferences)

How ?

There are five steps to creating a sound identity:

  • Audit
  • Benchmark
  • Sound charter
  • Mock-up
  • Final sound identity

I usually send my clients a set of specifications, asking them for their personal tastes and any references they might have with their competitors, in order to make the experience more immersive.
