Veritonic, Audacy | February 14, 2023
On February 13, 2023, Veritonic, the industry's most comprehensive audio research and analytics platform, announced a partnership with Audacy, and the results of a ground-breaking audio study concluding that in audio advertisements, four key elements—sonic branding, music, voice, and message, that maximize intent to purchase, recall, and brand favorability.
Sonic branding is a highly successful marketing method to increase brand identification and sales. It is an essential part of a brand's arsenal and a constant factor in advertising success. It is fundamental to how we perceive and recognize brands. A regularly used logo may strengthen a business's visual and vocal identity and increase brand recall. Sound branding accomplishes the following:
Increases Radio and Podcast purchase intent by 6% and 2%, respectively.
Radio ad recall increased by 17%, and podcast advertisements by 14%.
Sonic branding makes radio advertisements +7% more trustworthy, +6% more pleasant, +5% more powerful, and +4% more relevant.
The idea is to pick music that matches a business's fundamental values and brand identity, whether you're curating unique compositions or choosing essential tunes. Music may support a brand's values, attract attention inside advertisements, and connect with target consumers. Adding music to advertisements increases buying intent by 5%. Additionally, music helps commercials remain top-of-mind, drives buy intent, and ads with music were more remembered, achieving 4% greater recall.
