Sonic Identity: Your brand’s secret superpower

Audio by Chase J. using WellSaid Labs

If the mere mention of “sonic identity” leaves you breaking into a cold sweat or scratching your head in bemusement, you’re not alone. For many a marketer or creative director, the concept of a brand’s audio persona sounds like a subplot in a science-fiction novel–a far-flung tech innovation dreamt up by Silicon Valley whiz kids.

Yet, if I were to mention “I’m lovin’ it,” or “Just do it,” you’d instantaneously hum the jingle or visualize the swoosh. So, what if I told you that the auditory equivalent of these visual identities, sonic identities, holds untapped potential to skyrocket your branding?

After all, have you ever stopped to consider why the intonation of Morgan Freeman’s voice elicits such a warm and soothing feeling? Or why the distinctive tone of Siri’s voice has become a household presence? Or, maybe even why all these years later people still recognize Yogi Bear’s voice? It’s because of the power of sound. And, more specifically, the magic of sonic identity. 

Sonic identity, the auditory twin of visual branding, is no longer a distant galaxy in the marketing universe. It’s here, and it’s happening now.

Audio Branding: Building Your Brand Through Sound

Listen as AI Voice Avatar, Tobin, reads the first paragraph.

How do you know when a brand chooses the perfect audio? That’s the catch—you might not. Quality audio doesn’t call attention to itself; when music, background sound, or a narrator’s voice fits a project perfectly, it often goes unnoticed. But make no mistake: audio choices play a resounding part in a brand’s success.
