The value of a sound…sound strategy is still a dim second in advertising briefs but smarter brands are catching on. Audi achieved sonic branding two years ago, with its sport for the A5 sportback - a steady, pumping heartbeat, breath and a piano as seen (and heard) above.
It’s been a bit quiet here for a while. The main reason is that right now we are finishing finishing the final edits of the book “Sounds like branding” published by Norstedts publishing house, Sweden in mid-March.
For all you english speakers there will be a beta version released around the same time as an audio book on Spotify as well as a limited edition (250 copies) 7″ vinyl…we will give you all details of this in the new year.
A workshop on how to build a successful strategy to interest brands
(or how to sell out without selling out…)
MIDEM, Cannes Monday 25 January
4.00pm to 5.00pm
In the future, music will be free and artists will get paid for it. What is changing is what is being paid for and how. At this Heartbeats workshop we will unveil the essential steps for artists, labels and the live entertainment sector to successfully attract attention from brands and secure a career in the new music economy.
How to define your assets in the best way, identify your band/festival’s identity, package & present yourself to a brand, build a connection with it, monitor success…these are key factors for success to be discussed, together with best case practices on the ones that are doing it in the right way. All questions are welcome!
