Auditory multi-brand strategy from comevis 🎶⚽
Compared to already internationally known audio brands, the DFB Auditive Brand Experience has stood out since the end of 2023 thanks to its multi-brand complexity and the consistent use of AI-based management and analysis tools from the comevis C-Cloud.
DFB Soundbranding faced the challenge of aurally unifying the DFB's diverse brands - 4 hero and 5 supporter brands, from the women's and men's national teams to the DFB Cup and the 3rd league.
✅ The goal was clear: to create a coherent acoustic identity that also preserves the uniqueness of each brand.
The methodical derivation and individual strategy was accompanied by a multi-stage market research process. This ensured that the key auditory idea not only resonates emotionally, but also perfectly reflects the brand values. Today, each brand unfolds its individual audible impact potential in line with its positioning, thus contributing to the DFB's unmistakable auditory brand experience.
From the central idea to the auditory DFB Family Code
⚽ The methodology of code-based sound branding by comevis makes it possible to develop an auditory-modular strategy for the DFB brand family. Strategic brand values are translated into audible parameters that form the unique DFB Family code.
⚽ Over 500 individual audio assets work in the DFB's respective communication formats and maximize the specific acoustic potential of each brand. The DFB sound logo, social media templates (video moods) and TV bumpers, which are used for TV broadcasts, the DFB Cup, the World Cup and European Championships, podcasts, social media and live events, for example, play a special role.
⚽ The AI-based management and analysis tools created especially for the DFB support the strategic approach of sustainable brand experience & communication within auditory brand management and offer all users maximum ease of access to the DFB's modular design system.

"We are proud to have received two awards for our strategic work with the DFB. Emotional brand building at every touchpoint was our goal in order to create an authentic connection between the DFB brands and their target groups. Successful sound branding, like that of the DFB, must of course also be AI-oriented today in order to effectively unfold its full power."
