Audio is essential in ad design as it can significantly enhance an ad's overall impact and effectiveness. A well-chosen soundtrack can evoke emotions, set the tone, and create a memorable experience for the audience. Moreover, audio can also help capture viewers' attention and increase overall engagement with the ad, making it a crucial component for advertising campaigns to consider. Whether it's a jingle, background music, or a voiceover, the right audio track can make all the difference in the success of an ad.
