Research shows that that ads which use music strategically score more highly across a range of measures than those that don’t feature any music at all. *

An audio brand can be used anywhere from YouTube videos to phone hold messages, from audio on a website to the backing track on company presentations and in store audio for retail brands and even the sound of an app.
Implementing “Earmark” – our unique 5 step audio branding programme, we help clients develop and control their brand sound, ensuring customers are not just hearing a brand, they’re feeling it too.
Podcasting listening is still on the rise. We help brands create their own podcast, from developing ideas to finding a suitable host, writing the scripts, recording, editing and uploading to a podcast hosting platform.
Industry experts say that the UK is two years behind the United States in terms of podcast consumption. That can only lead to us seeing massive growth in the UK over the next 24 months.
We believe a branded podcast shouldn’t be directly about the products or services of that brand. Instead, it should feature informative and entertaining content that reflects the ethos of the brand. We can help you develop a format that delivers content that ensures podcast listeners will come back again and again for each new episode, creating a solid brand fan base.
The Internet of Things is opening up new opportunities for audio. Whether it’s an ad running on Amazon Echo, Google Nest or any smart connected device, we can apply our expertise in digital audio to any new platform.
Working in partnership with Spotify and tech company, Send Me Sample, we produced a series of audio ads for cosmetics company NARS targeted to users of smart speakers. The call to action was “Just say to Alexa or Google Assistant – Ask Send Me a Sample for NARS”.
The listener was then taken through a process to establish which sample the listener wanted and automatically processed the order, delivering the free sample to their home.
This is just one example of how we’re applying our intimate knowledge of audio to new and exciting leading-edge technology.
