Music matters. A single track can shape the way people feel about your company. Whether you’re creating a video, running an ad campaign, or building your corporate identity - the right music track will reinforce your brand and support your message.
1. Define Your Brand Identity
Before you begin searching for music, ask: who are we as a brand? What adjectives best describe us? Are we innovative and bold, or perhaps warm and approachable? According to industry guides, aligning your music to your brand identity is the first key step. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
2. Know Your Audience & Context
Your audience’s preferences, their mood and the context of the track matter. Are you targeting millennials, corporate decision-makers, global audience? The setting also influences your choice - a conference opener, a product launch video or a social promo all require different energies. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
3. Choose the Style and Mood
Match the music’s tempo, instrumentation and mood to your message. For example:
- For corporate & professional: clean, modern, minimal instrumentation.
- For product launch or energetic brand: upbeat tempo, bold rhythms.
- For storytelling or brand film: emotional, cinematic, build up.
4. Ensure Proper Licensing & Usage Rights
Make sure you understand where and how you can use the track - online, broadcast, worldwide, exclusivity, etc. Many businesses underestimate this and run into issues. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
5. Test & Iterate
Preview how the track works with your visuals, voice-over, durations and cut points. Sometimes a great track alone may feel off when paired with your footage. Ask:
- Does it support the message or distract from it?
- Does it match transition-points and pacing?
- Is it flexible enough (intro/outro, loop, version)?
6. Be Consistent & Adaptable
Once you’ve set a musical direction, aim for consistency across your campaigns so your brand builds a coherent audio identity. At the same time stay flexible: different formats (social, TV, internal use) may require slightly varied versions of the track.
Final thought: You’re not just choosing a piece of music. You’re choosing a tone of voice, a feeling, a memory. A well-selected track helps your brand speak in a way that is felt, not just seen or read.
