54 Musical Marketing Techniques

From Life-Saving Music Ads to Sci-Fi Orchestra Advertising

— August 29, 2013 — Marketing
Music has a very unique way of being able to connect with people on a very emotional level, and these musical marketing techniques are some creative examples of how rhythm and song can sufficiently attract an audience.

With print ads and commercial campaigns constantly bombarding consumers with products or service messages, viewers tend to easily dismiss ads and ignore them all together. However, by incorporating song or musical elements into an ad campaign, marketers are creatively able to get in touch with people's sense of melody and song, allowing them to become more involved and attracted to the campaign.

From singing weight-loss ads to music video clothing promos, these musical marketing techniques are showcasing that ads must utilize aspects and features that modern youths and audiences can relate to in order to catch their attention.
