Ever wondered about the magic behind your favorite brand's unique sounds? Does your brand have a sound? Have you ever really considered it? Every time we add music to our social media videos, or sound effects, we start to build a sound ecosystem around our brand – and that affects how your audience feels. In this episode, we’re talking with sonic branding experts, Joe Belliotti and Rebecca Jolly, about the release of their new book: How Music Grows Brands. They break down the science behind sonic branding, how to strategically select sounds and music that fit your brand’s target demographic and more.
