Audio identity design : description of the process.

For those who'd like to know how I proceed to create an audio identity...

Technically speaking, there's not so much to say about it. It's as usual, which means, in other words, UNIQUE.

I don't think there is a recipe for this or that, music design is still creation.

That's why when you have an artistic approach every case is an example.

However, here, we're talking about the marketing aspect of the music. So this part can be rationnalized, it can be sliced in small and intelligible problems...

I mean that, understanding the market, the core business, the target, the brand, its history and all its problematics, really help to give a musical answer to the questions :

How do I touch more people ?
How do I deliver them a particular message ?
How do I stay connected with them ?
How do I improve my positive impact ?
How do I motivate the impulse of buying ?
How do I differenciate from my competitors ?
