Decoding the Magic: How Brand Jingles Shape Consumer Perception
A deep dive into how brand jingles influence memory, trust, and consumer perception through sound and emotion, creating lasting connections with audiences.
Earlier this year, during a meeting with a potential client, we encountered a problem that influenced them to change agencies.
The client was the organisation that created one of the biggest FMCG brands in the country. They had invested heavily in audience reach, ensuring that their ads appeared on almost every platform. The product already had strong awareness. Traffic was high, CTRs were healthy, and influencer collaborations were performing well.
Yet none of this translated into the revenue they expected.
When we started working with the client, the first thing we told them was:
Your brand is speaking loudly, but it is not speaking precisely.
With 20+ years of experience as a leading advertising and marketing agency, at Hetarsh Creative Force, we believe that as the market evolves, brands must create experiences that genuinely prompt the audience to take significant actions. And these experiences contribute directly to revenue growth.
And the more we examined this shift, the clearer it became that 2026 marks a significant turning point.
This year’s marketing landscape is not a battle of volume; it is a battle of timing and intelligence.
It is driven by data, but directed by human intelligence.
If you are wondering how we actually make AI and human intelligence work together, check our blog:
Data or Creativity? Why the Future of Branding Demands Both.
In 2026, data is the most crucial element. Any decision-making without solid data-backed research is going to be mere guesswork.
And no, we are not talking about data for demographics or basic consumer behaviour.
We need to find
Using AI for content or creative is the most basic usage of it, and it still doesn’t match the performance of our content writers or designers.
So instead of using Generative AI for content, we decided to use it to create simulations that help predict outcomes based on real scenarios.
In 2026, we don’t need to rely on a trial-and-error approach. With Generative AI, we can run predictive simulations that show what will happen
We can build hyper-personalised journeys for each product and evaluate the response for decision-making with generative AI.
All the data models showcase impressions, views, and different KPIs.
But this is the time when we should build models that work in reverse.
For example, if we want to increase revenue by 5% in a timeframe of six months, we should define the KPIs and evaluate all the possible outcomes for achieving it.
Based on this strategy and these outcomes, we should create a reverse strategy and clear milestones.
Thanks to AI, everyone can create brilliant copies and visuals.
That is the exact sign from the universe that we need to upgrade and create experiences for viewers, not just run-of-the-mill.
This is the year where we give product-trial experiences, open doors for community conversations, create interactive journeys, and craft thought-provoking concepts and visuals.
Instead of focusing on visibility, 2026 needs to focus on being remembered, being shared among friends, and building trust and loyalty.
In 2026, the combination of AI with human intelligence and experience is going to be the key to growth, increased revenue, and stronger brand recall among people.
