"Julian’s keynote at our annual Panasonic Convention, which we organise for more than 1,500 editors and dealers, was very well received by all guests who attended his presentation. For me, his presentation was not only an inspiration business-wise, but it was also a good mixture of information – conveyed in a lively way – and provided great learnings for everyday life. His subject of sound is universal and relevant for everyone, and I would recommend him as keynote speaker for other opportunities within Panasonic and externally."
- Anne Guennewig, Panasonic
"Julian Treasure made a great keynote at WORKTECH15 London and was one of our highest-rated speakers with wonderful content and energy. We’d love to include him in our future programmes."
- Caroline Bell, Unwired
"Julian’s session was spot on, presenting new insights into sound effects and making us aware of the importance of sound in our daily lives and as producers of content. Feedback from our delegates has been unanimously positive. His session on our web-tv is the most sought after from this year’s conference."
- Anngun Dybsland, Nordic Media Festival

Sound Business: How to use sound to grow profits and brand value
Sound is a great undiscovered country for business. Most organisations are blissfully unaware of their sound, and yet sound affects people deeply. Sound can change people's behaviour in almost any commercial environment – including offices, shops, showrooms, advertising, the internet, hotels, bars and restaurants. Research shows that appropriate sound can increase retail sales by over 30% and triple productivity for some workers. Sound Business is a complete manual for managing your business sound.
