SONIC BRANDING

An audible and vital ingredient of our brand experience
Sonic Branding

Our sonic identity and DNA were designed with memorability and adaptability in mind, empowering us to create the right sonic journey for our audience, whether in Mastercard's products and solutions, or enhancing our world-class experiences and campaigns with full anthemic music tracks.

Mastercard's sonic branding consists of three main elements: sonic cues, sonic logos, and sonic anthems. These moments of sonic interaction provide familiarity, reassurance, and peace of mind at critical points in the consumer journey. They also drive the brand in innovative ways to connect with our audience on a deeper emotional level.

For all sonic-related questions, contact us.
