Behind the numbers (Marketplace.org):

Sound is almost like a magic trick in my mind because it’s something we don’t think much about. We think very consciously about all our other senses. You know, we have food channels, we like to put our clothes together, but sound is something that, culturally speaking – at least now – people don’t think much about it. But it has this really powerful ability to prime your brain for what’s to come or whatever world this brand is trying to place you in. And now we are in the very first generations to place speakers within millimeters of our eardrum. I think that’s why we’re at the beginning of a new era with sound. I think that’s why so many brands and people are starting to think about that emotional scoop.
