Business, Trends + Pop Culture
Messaging is the business of captivating story telling.
Having a clear narrative to produce intriguing dialogue and content that resonates with the audience/consumer is key.
Sound triggers one of the strongest emotional sensations. I believe sonic branding a.k.a sound branding is a critical contribution to the overall brand experience, POV and expression. Sound creates and reinforces therefore it can do wonders to reinforce the brand message and values. It's largely under estimated and used in my view.
