Custom Social Audio IP - Stop Renting Sound, Start Owing It.
As Link In Bio’s Rachel Karten noted in her 2025 trend report, brands are moving towards 'fewer, better' content—it’s about quality content that resonates over quantity of content with little value.
Sound creates more immediate, deeper connection than any of the five senses. We mean this literally!
Yet, 90% of brands are on mute, and most use sound ad hoc, which creates brand drift, drowning their creative in a sea of musical sameness. You spend so much time into your copy, your creative, your visuals, only to dilute your effort in the sea of same sounds that hundreds of other brands, including your competitors, are using.
While consumers spend 31% of their media time with audio, brands invest less than 10% of their budgets there.

Streaming Audio outperforms Social Media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook by a factor of 168% according to Adelaide's measurement.
It costs marketers anywhere from 50% to nearly 170% less to secure the same level of attentiveness from audio as it would across various social networks.
A Neustar analysis of the media mix performance of more than 40 national advertisers revealed that a shift of only 1.8% of media investment into audio produced a 23% increase in overall ROAS for Auto advertisers.
Retail: 1.1% shift -> 16% lift

Telecom: 0.8% shift -> 11% lift

Crafted by award-winning film and television composers, it’s designed to make social audiences feel your brand, not just hear it.
Stop renting sound while diluting your brand identity.
IP Investment: $7,500 -$15,000
The Social Brand Package gives your brand a custom suite of original, reusable, and ownable short-form audio assets designed to make you stand out where it counts: on TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and beyond.
While your competitors use the same trending sounds, you’ll be the one building brand equity, recall and impact with a sound that’s instantly recognizable—and legally yours to scale across campaigns, creators, and channels.
Marketing wins by standing out—not blending in. Yet 95% of brands reuse the same TikTok sounds, dampening the impact of their high value content. Hearing "Espresso" for the umpteenth time or settling for generic “original sound” simply cues our lizard brains to tune out. That’s not hype, its neuroscience.
If you consider sound as an afterthought, you’re not alone. But now that you know better, you owe it to your brand and customers to use sound as part of your storytelling tool kit. It’s simply part of a unified brand identity. Audio is how stand out on social, while building valuable brand equity.
