Audio branding for a voice-first future

We will be touching on branding again today is this flash briefing, it’s an interesting subject in the state voice technology is today. I think that a lot of players right now won’t be the biggest winners later on, but, as you guys might know already, because I say it constantly, it’s really imperative to be in the platforms and to start defining your strategy, so it’s always interesting to me to talk about how brands are reacting to this wave. Audio branding is not new, it comes since the Golden Age of Radio, but it were never a time where it was more important to know how you brand sounds like in today’s times.
