Brands: MasterCard makes the Journey into Sound

Not wanting to be left behind in the race to sonic branding, after rival Visa introduceda "signature sound" in 2017, Mastercard has launched a sound of its own, complementing its new no-word logo.

Mastercard turned to the musical talents of Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park  and other artists and agencies to develop a “do doo do doo do doo” ditty that will play when people make a purchase or see one of the brand’s ads on TV. There are also scenario-specific styles of the sound that will play in different point of sale locations.
So what does Mr. Shinoda think of Mastercard’s new sonic branding? “It’s great to see a big brand expressing themselves through music to strengthen their connection with people,” he said. I guess you could say it’s all about getting “One Step Closer” to consumers.
