The Challenge
A boutique cycling and strength studio expanding from one to five locations needed a brand experience that would travel with them. Instructor playlists varied wildly by class, creating an inconsistent energy signature that made it hard to define what the brand truly felt and sounded like across the portfolio.
The Solution
Audio Hooks Studio created a sonic branding framework including a brand theme, sonic logo for pre-class intros, and a genre and tempo moodboard that gave instructors creative latitude while maintaining brand coherence. An on-hold audio experience was produced for the front desk and membership inquiry line, reinforcing the high-energy, community-first tone of the brand.
The Results
Net Promoter Score climbed 11 points across the five-location rollout. Member referral rate increased 19% in the six months following the audio rebrand. Social media content featuring the branded sonic logo received 3.4x more saves and shares than non-branded audio content.
