Premium sonic branding
for ambitious brands
As sound and music are now essential parts of a 360° brand experience the need for companies, products and broadcasters to find their own voice has never been bigger. We help brands unfold their sonic potential, making sure they are heard and not just seen. In short: we create sonic identities that cuts through the noise.
Designing a Sonic Brand
As a leading Scandinavian sound branding agency Unmute helps brands unfold their sonic potential and navigate in the emerging audio space.
We’re deeply rooted in Scandinavian design tradition and we see sonic branding first and foremost as a design task. Therefore we always seek to build a unique design system and principles around an authentic creative concept - and always with a clear purpose in mind: to make your brand worth listening to.
The outcome will be distinctive brand assets, like a sonic logo and brand music, that can live inside the brand’s identity system next to the visual assets - all thoroughly guided to achieve the best possible integration across your organisation.
Our goal as a sonic branding company is to translate brand values and aspirations into music, immersive sound design and audible user experiences and turn it all into actionable and meaningful sonic strategies.

The impact of music
The saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words. We say that music is worth a thousand pictures.
In this little film about the impact of music our own Daniel Schougaard is talking about our approach to music creation and why music is so good at capturing and engaging an audience.
