Abstract

Corporate identity has been traditionally focused to the visuals, relegating other senses to a secondary plane. Starting from this problem, sensory marketing seeks to exploit all senses for commercializing products and brands. This article delves particularly on audio branding; an analysis of previous work is done in relation to the application of audio elements –music, voice and sounds– and its benefits in terms of promotion, identity and change in costumer behavior.
