A corporate sound identity is usage of custom sonic branding and brand music for videos and other brand touchpoints. A holistic corporate identity is perceived with all five senses. And »design« cannot be reduced to its visual appearance. It makes sense to consider the sound dimension of a corporate design – the corporate sound identity.
Increasingly, many brands and firms are expanding their Sound ID with additional auditory brand elements and using the potential of corporate sound and sound branding.
Many companies have become aware of this topic through current developments such as podcasting, voice assistance systems or video communication.
As a corporate sound agency, audity GmbH support B2C as well as B2B companies in adding the acoustic dimension to their brand.
