The Cultural Roots of Music in Marketing

Long before the times of digital media, billboards, or social networks, music was used to enchant and influence behaviors. In village town squares and open markets, peddlers used to sing their offers, rhythmic, catchy, and impossible to remember. These early audio efforts built the roots of what we now describe as audio branding. Jump ahead to the early 20th century’s dawn of radio, a golden age when music and brands were synonymous.

The first jingle to reach the airwaves was in 1926 for Wheaties cereal, and it sold not just a product, but it planted a melody in the brains of millions. By mid-century, jingles weren’t just a marketing trick, they were part of the culture. From Coca-Cola’s “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke” to McDonald’s “I’m Lovin’ It,” music became the emotional bridge between a brand and its audience.

As television, film, and now digital media evolved, the role of music in campaigns became even more sophisticated. Music was no longer just about making something memorable; it was about building trust, triggering emotion, and establishing identity.

Brands began commissioning bespoke scores, acquiring popular hits under license, and branding sound as representative of their values and aesthetics. Nowadays, in an age of algorithms, streaming, and content overload, a brand’s sound is more important than ever, not just to be heard, but to be remembered.

The Purpose and Power of Music in Marketing

Music for marketing is one of the most powerful tools in human communication. It can inspire, change mood, change perception, and create identity in a second. That’s why music in advertising is never background music. It’s a strategic tool. Applied correctly, music can convey something words can’t.

It sets the tone instantly: fun or powerful, elegant or rough. It creates emotional context faster than any image. A handful of notes can build trust, shift attitude, or create nostalgia. More importantly, music helps brands cut through the cacophony of a crowded marketplace. It creates recall. It builds memory. It builds what every marketer desires: resonance.

Consider the most recognizable brands in the world, they don’t have logos and slogans; they have sound identities. Intel’s chime, Netflix’s “ta-dum,” or Apple’s ambient store soundscapes, all these sounds are branding assets as important as any image. They tell a story in an instant. Music doesn’t just support the message.

Sometimes, music is the message. In political, commercial, environmental, or social advertising campaigns, music becomes the emotional driver. It gets action from voters, moves consumers, and mobilizes communities. From political rally anthems to soft piano whispers in the background of charity solicitations, the music chosen drives the tone, the credibility, and the emotional connection of the campaign.
