Audio branding is described as the process of brand development and brand management by use of acoustic elements within the framework of brand communication.

It is part of multi-sensory brand communication and holistic corporate design. Audio branding aims at building solidly a brand sound that represents the identity and values of a brand in a distinctive manner. The audio logo, brand music or the brand voice are characteristic elements of audio branding.
