POWER
Sonic Brand elements encompass less than
10% of brand assets on average, a huge
missed opportunity, given the relatively low
cost of developing a sonic brand.

WORKING ELEMENT IN
SHOW BUSINESSES
It’s time to evolve brand toolkits with a focus on assets that
improve performance. Audio branding systems, such as sonic
logos, are long-term brand assets that can evolve as the brand
refocuses its positioning without sacrificing visual brand equity
that has been built.
