EightSix has introduced Brand Studio, a pioneering brand music intelligence system that revolutionizes how global brands discover, evaluate, license, and deploy music across customer touchpoints. Built over two years with insights from more than 25 years in composition, music supervision, licensing, and audio technology, Brand Studio applies structure, science, and accountability to music decisions in marketing.
Quick Intel
EightSix has launched Brand Studio, establishing the world's first dedicated brand music intelligence platform. For decades, music in advertising—the most potent emotional driver—has relied on subjective judgment, trends, and personal taste. Brand Studio shifts this paradigm by introducing rigorous, measurable frameworks that make every music choice strategic, explainable, and aligned with brand objectives.
Central to the platform is mDNA™ (Music DNA), a proprietary benchmarking system that captures a brand's unique music profile across dimensions such as genre, emotional resonance, tempo, energy levels, and cultural relevance. This living standard guides decisions from major campaign tracks to social media edits, creator collaborations, and global licensing agreements. Machine learning, informed by extensive industry expertise, powers domain-specific intelligence that brands can quantify and justify.
Brand Studio delivers a suite of integrated capabilities:
"Every brand says music drives emotion, yet none can prove which music drives sales. That era is over. Brand Studio makes every music decision as defensible as media spend." — Gordian Gleiβ, Co-Founder, EightSix
"Every layer of this platform reflects how music actually works in the real world, not how technologists imagine it should. We trained the system on the decisions that experienced supervisors, composers and licensors make every day, then gave it the scale that no human team could achieve alone." — Grace Hammond, Lead Developer, EightSix
EightSix has collaborated with industry leaders SoundOut, the foremost provider of consumer music testing, and Cyanite, a specialist in AI-driven audio analysis, to maintain enterprise-grade standards. Designed for CMOs, brand teams, agencies, and procurement professionals, Brand Studio ensures music investments are defensible, aligned with strategy, and measurable in impact.
As adoption grows, Brand Studio will extend structured opportunities to independent creators and composers, granting access to brand briefs evaluated through intelligent criteria. This creates equitable pathways for monetization while benefiting from the same analytical rigor applied to brand decisions.
"The problem was never creativity. It was communication. Brand Studio gives teams a shared language for music decisions. When everyone works from the same intelligence, decisions accelerate, conviction grows and brands sound unmistakably like themselves, everywhere." — Shai Caleb Hirschson, Co-Founder, EightSix
Brand Studio positions EightSix at the forefront of transforming music and sound strategy through technology, creativity, and data.
