IMPLICIT RESEARCH FOR SOUND AND MUSIC

Influence consumer decisions.

EmotiSphere measures the emotional impact of sound. We test sonic logos, UX audio, and music in advertising with implicit methods that capture what listeners feel before they can put it into words.

Audio identities we have helped bring to life

SELECTED RESULTS

The evidence is the argument.

WORLD FIRST

NISSAN CANTO

The first engineered soundscape for electric vehicles. The winning sound matched or exceeded a combustion engine for pedestrian awareness and driver experience. Winner of the 19th Annual EXPLOR Award.

3 EDITIONS

SOUND EFFECTS

Sound Effects, our research series measuring implicit response to sonic branding in 3 markets. Saudi Arabia tested bespoke sonic logos, Italy tested stock sonic logos, and Finland tested AI-generated sonic logos.

7 MARKETS

AUSTRALIA'S NATION BRAND

Australia's first Nation Brand sonic logo, tested with consumer and enterprise audiences in 7 markets, including Australia, the USA, the UK, China, Indonesia, India, and South Korea before launch.

The most important responses to sound happen below conscious awareness. Self-report misses them. Our core method is implicit association testing adapted for audio, which reads emotional response through reaction time rather than opinion.

Where the question calls for it, we extend the toolkit to EEG, fMRI, and biometric and behavioral measures. Every study ends the same way. A clear answer to a decision the brand actually faces.

METHOD

We measure what listeners feel, not just what they say.

Sound is judged by gut feel, likeability, and pseudo-science far too often. We wrote down what we believe instead, and the agencies we endorse have signed on to it.

OUR MANIFESTO

Brands deserve more than mythology. People deserve more than noise.
