What do you do when you are drinking Coca Cola? Or eating at McDonald’s?

Or watching a good movie? You listen…

Whenever I eat McDonald’s – The song “I’m Loving It” always comes to my mind.

Whenever I watch a movie – how intense or soft the music is, it always gets to me.

And there is another 72% of people that make the same emotional connection with a brand. The connection is based on their immersive audio strategy. This is another level of how brands can reinforce their brand identity in consumers’ minds because having an audio branding strategy makes your brand more special, more UNIQUE!

Almost every distinct brand has an audio logo. It immediately means that they have a developed audio strategy that is consistent in their  branding efforts, which is imperative.

‘Birthday Roar’ Celebrates the 50th Porsche 911 Anniversary’

“To celebrate the 50th Porsche 911 anniversary, Porsche created the ‘Birthday Roar.’ For this tribute, Porsche used seven editions of the Porsche 911. All these were created to represent each one of the musical scales. Individually, the cars race around to show off their sounds. The build-up is quite intimidating. Each car races and shows off its powerful engine” (Laura McQuarrie).

This was a great way to show off the tone and sound that represents each of Porsche’s cars. And also how they sound together as a harmonious unit.

Porsche also created an interactive game experience. This allowed users to develop their sound to resemble one of the car’s models.  Not only did this create an interactive experience. It also allowed users to immerse themselves in the music of Porsche and what they think Porsche sounds like.
