#TheFutureIsSound

In today’s VUCA digital world, the blistering pace of change has created increasing challenges for marketers to create brand differentiation and to forge deeper connections with their consumers. Hitherto relegated to the ‘jingle’ or ‘sonic sting’, the use of music has rapidly evolved into the designing of holistic sonic identities for brands, adding a powerful ‘emotive’ dimension to complement the more ‘cognitive’ impact of a visual identity. Rajeev Raja, Founder & Soundsmith, BrandMusiq takes us through the challenges of creating the Mastercard Sonic Brand, sharing a fascinating insight into how modern brands can use a sonic identity, not just for brand recognition, but also to enhance brand immersion and experience.
