BING BONG BOOK
♮ In a crowded marketplace where brands compete relentlessly for attention, sound has become one of the most powerful, and least understood, drivers of connection. Bing Bong: The Ultimate Guide to Leveraging Music for Effective Brand Marketing offers a timely, incisive exploration of how music and sound shape memory, emotion, and brand value.♮ Drawing on more than 15 years of real-world experience, the book traces the author’s journey from musical obsession to marketing innovation, grounding theory in practice.♮ It examines the psychology of sound, the mechanics of the music business, and the strategic role music plays in brand architecture, equity, and growth.♮ From iconic advertising campaigns to the rise of sonic branding, the book reveals how sound moves consumers from awareness to loyalty.♮ At its core is a definitive guide to sonic experience: how brands create, deploy, and measure sonic identities that endure.♮ Through case studies of global leaders, original frameworks, and insights from more than 50 industry experts, Bing Bong also looks ahead to AI-generated sound, voice-first platforms, spatial audio, and a future where brands are heard as much as they are seen.♮ With a foreword by Alexandre Perrin, PhD, Professor of Music Business at Berklee Valencia, Bing Bong equips marketers, brand leaders, and creatives with the insight to navigate and shape the next era of brand communication.♮ Bing Bong: The Ultimate Guide to Leveraging Music for Effective Brand Marketing is your comprehensive resource for understanding and harnessing the transformative power of music and sound.Scheduled for release in 2026🥸 Charles' LinkedIn
