Radio, advertising and the Internet often forget that sound is a rich and versatile resource for achieving objectives such as to gain the consumer's immediate response, to build reputation and a brand image, to improve attention and recall, and to provide a functional and emotional user experience. To that end, adequate work in audio design should be performed to solve this deficiency. The success of several big brands in creating a solid audio brand demonstrates its relevance and beneficial consequences.

The analyzed variables in this study are the sound composition thought the use of music, sound effects and voice, the communicative function of the sound, and the strategic relationship between the brand, the product and the sound. The results of this study indicate that a suitable sound branding strategy can reinforce the advertising effectiveness of a brand.

Musicvertising in branded music content. An analysis of formats, features and sectors

Mediterranean Journal of Communication, 2018

This paper explores the relationship between music and advertising and, more specifically, branded music content. The analysis of the relationship between music and advertising establishes a priori a symbiotic relationship that poses a challenge: the need to formulate a concept to articulate how and why brands use music as a tool to engage an audience that increasingly rejects conventional advertising. To this end, it was necessary to identify the sectors and brands that produce music, and secondly, the formats in which this audiovisual content is presented. This quantitative and qualitative analysis is based on a sample of 165 music contents produced by one hundred brands between 2009 and 2013. The results indicate that brands use the music video format to connect with consumers. On the other hand, fashion brands are the most active sector in the production of music branded content. Finally, the paper shows that brands have made an incursion in the music industry through the production of music and entertainment contents. The term musicvertising is proposed to refer to the contents produced by brands to exploit the power of music to arouse emotions, provide meaning, seduce, communicate and create identity.

Creativity: the key to creating successful advertising messages in the digital sonosphere

Radio Evolution: …, 2012

The characteristics of the radio media have traditionally been put forward as arguments to justify the lack of creativity in radio advertising in Spain. Factors such as fragmentation of the media, the need to resort to high frequencies in the broadcast message, the format almost absolute control wedge or direct translation of texts designed to television to radio, have led to and perpetuated the idea that radio advertising is not creative. However, the sono-digital realm has become the paradigm upside down transmission and reception of audio advertising messages. Multiplication, integration and interaction of different receiving devices paint a landscape in which arise not only new consumption habits that are beginning to overtake traditional formats, but also creativity stands as an essential tool to attract attention of the "new audiences". This is one conclusion that emerges from the first phase of the study being carried out Publiradio Research Group (Faculty of Communication Sciences -Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona), with the title: The Digital Sonosphere as a New Space to Communicate with Young People: A Study of Listener Habits for the Development of new PSA Formats CSO2009-12236.

In this new stage of digital sound-field, in which the radio loses its characteristic half-king as a transmitter of sound advertising and must coexist with other media that carry the increased potential for contact with the target. These new media have features that allow them free of the topics traditionally associated with radio advertising, but have we taken this opportunity to renew? The emergence of these new media has not been accompanied by the emergence of new advertising formulas sound. In this communication, is intended to highlight the opportunity provided by the digital sound-field enhancement factor of creativity and highlight the central role it can and should play in building future audio advertisements.

I love audio but not radio ads. How young advertising students perceive audio

6th ECREA Radio Research Section Conference, 2019

"Sound is very important in my life, but I do not listen to the radio. Ads are boring." This is the representative answer of one of the 80 advertising students of Mexico and Spain (between 18 and 25 years old) that we surveyed in this exploratory study. Our goal was to know how this generation of young students perceive sound and radio advertising by identifying their audio consumption habits, the role of audio in their lives and academia, their opinion about the current radio advertising, and how they perceive the future of audio in this sector. The general conclusion is that they consider audio as very important in their lives, and they consume different products, especially music. Still, they think that advertising is not using all the possibilities of audio ("radio ads just use repetitive structures"). They perceive a mismatch between the training they receive at the university and the professional sector.

Sonic identity and audio branding elements in Spanish radio advertising

Anàlisi, 2021

The emotional potential of sound is an excellent resource for companies and institutions seeking to test new ways of communicating with their stakeholders through the senses. However, there are still few organizations that include sound as a conveyer of their corporate identity. Audio branding aims to expand the contact points with audiences by incorporating sound elements that facilitate the recognition of the brand's values. This research attempts to understand the use that corporations make of sound as a communication tool and to evaluate its presence, but above all it wants to find out if this use is due to a strategic approach or if it is a specific decision marked by the temporality of advertising campaigns. For this reason, in this paper we have taken the radio as an advertising media. On the one hand, because it is the sound media par excellence. On the other hand, because it is where we can find the most well-known modes of audio branding such as the brand song, the jin...

In the new millennium it has also faced the downsides of the development: digital piracy and, as a consequence of it, declining revenues. These threats are not limited to the music industry but concern many other sectors whose products can be digitized. The mainstream of previous and contemporary IS/IT research has been optimistic and emphasized the positive impacts of digitalization. Those who have considered the negative impacts, such as the consequ...
