The Challenge
A family-owned automotive dealer group with four franchises was competing against national chains that outspent them on media but couldn't match the local trust and relationships the group had built over 30 years. They needed brand assets that communicated premium service and local pride without a national ad budget.
The Solution
Audio Hooks Studio produced a sonic logo and brand theme conveying craftsmanship and community, a suite of ad cuts at 15 and 30 seconds for broadcast and pre-roll, and on-hold music for the service department that reduced perceived hold time. A vocal mix variation was delivered for radio spots across the dealer group's primary market.
The Results
Service department call satisfaction scores improved by 22% after on-hold audio deployment. Radio spots featuring the branded audio ident outperformed control spots in post-campaign recall studies by 31%. The group reported that the cohesive audio identity helped the four franchises feel like a single, unified brand for the first time.
