IMPACT OF MUSIC ON BRAND IMAGE:

Purpose:
The goal of this study is to investigate whether or not perception of people
towards a brand changes with change in music. We assume the use of appropriate
music helps to create an emotional connection and eventually establish a
brand liking in the mind of the customer.
We have selected the sports brand Nike and decided to analyse their
advertisements with variations in music.
Dependent variable:
Brand Image- This is decided based on a Likert scale and questionnaires
that captures the user preferences based on the manipulation of the other
variables.
Independent Variables:
Music- varied on the basis of

No Music
Popular Music
Non-Popular Music
Extraneous variables:
1. External noise /unequal volume levels: Controlled by making sure all
students have headphones rather than speakers and are setup to
equal volume levels
2. Connectivity: Students will access during the least possible network
traffic hours.
3. Age group of respondents: The Respondents chosen belonged
4. Interest in Sports based Ads: The survey floated prior to experiment
with capture data relevant to this
Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis(H0): Consumers are more likely to associate positive
qualities with a brand when they see a commercial with popular
music than when they see one without popular music or no
commercial at all
Alternate Hypothesis(H1): Consumer likability for a particular brand
does not depend on the music chose
Design:
Number of subjects will be evaluated under different conditions of
the music. Such as changing the type of music and also no music.
