A signature sound for your brand

Audio logos, brand music, and full sonic identities - built from your brand’s own DNA, and exclusively yours.

Trusted by JACQUEMUS · TARO ISHIDA · IFM Paris

What you get

A sound your audience recognizes with their eyes closed

Sonic branding treats sound with the same rigor as your logo: one musical DNA, scaled from a one-second signature to a full campaign score, deployed consistently until recognition compounds. Where possible, I build the identity from the brand itself: for the luxury heel house TARO ISHIDA, the kick drum is a recording of their own heel striking the floor; for Jacquemus, the score carried a fashion film commissioned for the IFM Paris showcase. And because purely AI-generated music cannot be owned, human-made, exclusively-licensed sound is now the only kind that works as a brand asset.

“A lot of advertising music is wallpaper. What Kaspar wrote did the opposite - it made the brand feel like it belonged in a bigger story.”

The numbers

Sound is the most effective brand asset - and the least used

3.4×audio assets outperform visual assets at driving branded attention
8.5×ads with sonic brand cues are likelier to rank among top performers
<10%of ads actually use audio brand assets - the gap is the opportunity

Figures from Ipsos’ “The Power of You” creative effectiveness research; industry research on tailored music points the same way - up to 138% more effective campaigns and 76% higher brand recognition.

What you can commission

One musical DNA, tailored to every touchpoint

  1. Audio logo

    A one-to-three second signature that identifies you with no picture and no words - built to read on a phone speaker and in a cinema alike.

  2. Brand music & campaign suites

    The full-length compositions behind your films and campaigns, with cutdowns for every placement - all cut from the same DNA.

  3. Fashion films & shows

    Scores for brand films and runway shows - the discipline behind the Jacquemus film for IFM Paris.

  4. Product & spatial sound

    The sound of the product and the room: interface sounds, retail soundscapes, exhibitions - identity where your customers actually are.

How it works

  1. 01

    Listening

    Your brand’s story, audience, and touchpoints - and everything your category already sounds like, because the goal is to sound like no one else in the room.

  2. 02

    The sonic DNA

    A core musical idea, tested at every scale: does it survive as a one-second sting, a hold loop, and a full film score? Locked with you before production.

  3. 03

    The system

    Composed, produced, and mastered assets - audio logo, brand music, cutdowns, guidelines - with exclusive rights agreed in plain language.

Questions

What does a sonic identity include?

Scoped to your touchpoints: an audio logo, brand music for campaigns and films, cutdowns for social placements, and guidelines - a system your agencies and editors can use consistently for years.

Who owns it?

You do. For brand work, exclusive usage rights are standard and agreed up front - the sound can never appear under another name. That exclusivity is exactly what library and AI-generated music cannot offer.

How long does it take?

A single audio logo or brand cue takes two to four weeks; a full identity system with strategy, composition, and delivery typically runs one to three months.
