Music


Music, along with reducing pain, relieving stress, boosting memory, improving mood, aiding emotional & social needs, can also be used for effective advertising.

Every advert that does not have an impact on the viewer is as useless as a white crayon. Music as an expression creates an impact potent enough to create brand recall and cosideration to consume the product.

Music as a marketing asset can be used to trigger emotions, stimulate response, increase visibility and gain loyal engagement.

It is simple enough for any layman to understand and can appeal to diverse age groups too. Children's products more often than not would use jingles as their adverts. Because it was simple enough for children to understand and catchy enough for them to keep singing along (ask Charlie Harper).

Brands targeting elder age groups would use jingles too. We are indeed aware of the golden age of jingles when every other brand would come up with one to create brand awareness (ask Hema, Rekha, Jaya & Sushma).
