Multisensory Brand Search: How the Meaning of Sound Guides Consumers’ Visual Attention

Across three experiments, consumers’ brand search was facilitated by spatially non-informative sounds associated with the target brand. Response latencies and eye movements to the target brand were faster in the presence of congruent (vs. no) sound. This crossmodal facilitation effect held even for newly-learnt associations between brands and sonic logos.
