Sound Branding: Hum that Brand
From the Intel bongs to the pips for Radio 4 News, sound branding has long been a part of everyday life. Coca Cola recently embedded their sonic brand in a chart hit moving the use of them into a new league. However, will this evolution be the golden goose of songwriter revenue? Or has the swell of bedroom laptop composers and the deals they agree to strangled the bird already?
• What is sound branding?
• What makes a successful brand sound?
• How much money can a songwriter make?
• When making the deal for your composition to be used what should you look out for?
The event is on Monday 25th October in Brick Lane and the panel is at 2.45pm.
The other panellists are:
Chris Smith, PCAM / CEO The Barbershop Music Co.
Jonathan Goldstein, PCAM, Medienkomponist
Joe Glasman, CEO Hum
John Groves, CEO GROVES Sound Communications
