Bespoke Audio Branding

Audio branding is the complete sonic identity system behind a show, brand, or experience: the recurring themes, stingers between segments, transition sounds, and musical motifs that make something instantly recognizable, whether it's a podcast, a brand, a video series, or an escape room. The strongest identities are recognizable even with the volume low, because every audio element reinforces the same identity.


What's included

  • Sonic identity brief and music direction session
  • Custom stingers and transition sounds (5–10 pieces)
  • Recurring musical motifs and signature phrases
  • Ad break and segment bumper music
  • Brand style guide for consistent use across episodes and campaigns
  • Full commercial license (yours to keep)

Pricing

$125 per 10 seconds of finished audio. A full package of stingers and transitions (5–10 pieces averaging 3–5 seconds each) typically runs $375–$625.


How it works

Before writing a single note, we conduct a proper music direction session, digging into your show's format, audience, tone, and existing identity. Audio branding is a system, not a single file, and it's treated with the same rigor a creative director brings to a visual identity. Every element is composed from scratch: original, ownable, and built to work across every episode, video, or campaign.

This is human-directed work. The result is a sonic identity that belongs exclusively to you.

Schedule a Kickoff: $500

The $500 fee covers an upfront scoping session for your project. If we move forward, it's applied toward your project total (or any future work). It's not an additional cost.
