“Sonic Minds were our partner in creating an audio identity for the Arla Brand. Sonic Minds are sound specialists, and for this medium of marketing, we felt that expertise was essential. They understood our vision and came to an understanding of the deep roots of our brand and company very fast. This was translated into different streams of sound, with one emerging very fast as both distinctive and aligned to our brand heritage and vision. After extensive testing across Europe, we ended up with an innovative audio identity that can become uniquely Arla. We have been very proud to see this roll out across Europe in such a quick time because of the belief our markets had in the process and the work”
Katie Reed Vice President, Arla Brand Europe

First of all, because they were agile and understood our needs and our business, we had a right and direct tone going from the beginning, which is vital when you have a tight deadline and many stakeholders. We had a thorough process to find the right direction that fits our company’s purpose. We are pleased with the result, and it is slowly growing globally as a natural part of our identity elements”

“Telenor chose to work with Sonic Minds for two reasons: First, Sonic Minds was the supplier that best met Telenor’s specific needs connected with IVR consultancy, Prompt speech, Sound logo, and On-Hold Music; They could deliver the entire package. Secondly, Sonic Minds appeared extremely professional and competent throughout the initial dialogue Telenor had with them. The team appeared extremely credible and fit well with Telenor’s company profile. Collaboration on the task was experienced as a good partnership, and we had a very close and ongoing dialogue throughout our course with Sonic Minds. The working process lived up to all our expectations and is very accurate to deadlines. Furthermore, Sonic Minds is flexible about ongoing changes and adjustments in the agreed schedules.

“In Q8, we chose to collaborate with Sonic Minds on developing audio identity because there was a clearly described process that worked to take into account the many different inputs in relation to the sound profile. Documented cases and broad experience and a professional, competent, and very pleasant team on the task. All in all, Q8 has begun the journey into the universe of sound branding, where the partnership with Sonic Branding will certainly play a significant role in the future. Product-wise, we have p.t. a smaller palette that has been very internally focused on understanding and “buy-in” on Q8’s sound identity. Here launch events in the form of 2 sound stomp workshops played a big role. It was an exciting and engaging way to work the Q8 sound into and has created an experience out of the ordinary. Ringtones in respectively. Pop, rock, and “adventure” variants have also been very important elements and now means that employees have the sound with them in their everyday lives and take ownership. This creates pride in both work and private contexts”
Helle Dahlgren Skov Marketing Director, Kuwait Petroleum A/S

Philosophy

Every day we are getting bombarded with sounds and music by brands and devices that want our attention. The result is often the opposite. We walk away from the noise, turn off the sound or use anti-noise cancellation devices to get some kind of rest. So what should a brand do in a sound-saturated and sometimes audio-polluted world?

We have a simple philosophy: When we break the silence, it has to create more meaning than the silence itself. Otherwise, we’re just making noise.

So just because we can add sound and music does not mean we should. Sound and music are very effective marketing tools but can create the opposite effect when used inadequately.

You, as a brand, are probably already using sound. So it is not a question of whether you want to do sonic branding. It is about how you want to use your brand’s audio landscape to create more effective, engaging, and meaningful communication.

With more than 18 years of experience, we have made it our ultimate mission to broaden the musical horizons of both companies and customers.

Besides creating valuable and meaningful sonic branding strategies, we want to teach companies about the power of sonic branding and why it is such an essential element of a marketing strategy.
