The Power of Sonic Branding
Aug 1, 2012 1:15 AM, By Erin Shipps, senior associate editor
Katz Marketing Solutions recently commissioned a study to determine the impact of various national advertisers’ sonic brands – in other words, how does what we hear affect how well we remember a company?
The interesting study found that audio, even just a few seconds of it, can trigger powerful brand messaging that impacts us cognitively, behaviorally and even physiologically. Twenty-four audio signatures were tested and 250 respondents were asked questions about each.
