The Power of AI in Sonic Branding
Michaela Arnaz, founder of AMP, discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of sonic branding. Using AI, his company creates unique sonic identities for brands by combining different musical elements. The sonic DNA, a flexible sonic system, allows for the creation of recognizable yet diverse sounds. AI is used to test different creative options and predict consumer reactions. The technology can also identify sound gaps in the market and adapt brand sounds for various touchpoints. However, Arnaz emphasizes that AI is not a replacement for human creativity, but rather an invaluable tool for enhancing the sonic branding process.
AI and the Future of Sound Marketing
Arnaz explains that AI has a significant impact on scaling and measuring sound marketing efforts. It enables the creation of sound at scale, ensuring brand consistency across various media channels. AI tools assist in composing and adapting music to different styles or energy levels, ensuring a brand's unique identity is maintained. The use of generative AI allows for the production of sound compositions that align with a brand's values and objectives. While there are concerns about AI's impact on human jobs in the creative industry, Arnaz believes that AI will complement and enhance the work of creatives rather than replace them.
The Future Possibilities of AI in Sonic Branding
Arnaz envisions a future where AI plays a more significant role in personalized sound marketing. With advancements in AI, marketers can create sounds in real-time, providing a personalized and immersive experience for consumers. However, Arnaz underscores that AI in sonic branding always starts with human creativity. While AI can bring unexpected ideas and inspiration, it is the human touch that drives innovation and ensures the authenticity and quality of sonic branding. AI opens new job opportunities in the industry, such as data scientists, and is seen as a valuable tool for shaping the future of sound marketing.
It's widely recognised that we are bombarded with fast-paced imagery in the modern world, whether it's social media videos, or digital billboards in city spaces.
But there has been a similar explosion in sound, says advertising entrepreneur Michele Arnese. He thinks brands can only compete with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
