La majorité des recherches réalisées en marketing sur la musique publicitaire l'a abordée comme un stimulus remplissant une fonction affective au sein d'une annonce commerciale. Or une incursion dans les domaines de la musicologie, de la psychologie et de la philosophie indique que la musique est dotée d'un pouvoir évocateur indéniable, pouvoir sur lequel s'appuient les annonceurs pour doter leur marque de valeurs symboliques prisées par le consommateur. L'objectif de cet article est de vérifier empiriquement qu'à côté de sa fonction affective traditionnelle, la musique tient également un rôle symbolique dans la mesure où les évocations qu'elle véhicule influent sur les réponses des prospects à une publicité.
