Sonic branding: A consumer-oriented literature review
(2015) In Journal of Brand Management 22(1). p.20-37- Abstract
- Because music holds a strong power over people, and its impact on consumers is relatively direct, it is invariably an interesting medium for marketers.

The present paper also suggests that there is need for using a common set of Sonic Branding concepts in order to unify the field. Further, the majority of businesses do not yet understand Sonic Branding as the uniquely consumer oriented practice it has the potential to be. Understanding the way that consumers themselves use music is crucial to successful brand management in this area. However, for theorists and practitioners alike, the immediate challenge lies in developing those concepts and labels for Sonic Branding that will unite the field, and thereby increase its future impact.
