Mind Your Business: Startle - Episode 2

Mind Your Business is the sponsored spin-off of marketing agency ...Gasp!'s world-leading podcast, Call to Action®. It gives inspiring, unusual or simply very likeable businesses a chance to share their story. In ...Gasp!'s own words, "It’s like reading a business book with the word ‘guru’ in the title, with the single but vital exception that it won’t make you do a little sick in your mouth".

This is the second episode of our three part Mind Your Business series.

For this second episode, we've got a BOGOF of Magnus, our Music Consultant, and James, our Creative Director. 

The dynamic duo chat to Giles about:

📣 How music can influence every aspect of how we behave

📣 Why you shouldn’t view music solely as an entertainment service

📣 The science of sound

📣 Boosting bass to sell more Rolexes

📣 Dealing with a constantly changing context

📣 How to use music to say something about your brand, and tons more.

A lot of places tend to still see music solely as an entertainment service. So it’s given minimal thought when designing spaces. But the power of music in communicating other aspects of business like brand personality and tone of voice is amazing.
