Unleash potential through the power of brand architecture

Audible is an audio format and delivery innovator. They dominate the audiobook category and were bought by Amazon in 2008. They have legions of loyal users, but were spending a lot of money attracting new users. It seemed the brand meant very little to people not already engaged with Audible.

 

Challenge: Audible was faced with:
• A misperceived legacy; audio books are for the blind or disabled.
• Listening to content is an acquired skill; it takes persistence to value audio books
• A variety of competitive technologies; ebooks/tablets

We needed to discover the heart of this brand that caused so many people to fall in love with it and stay in love.

 

What we did
After a deep immersion we uncovered an interesting insight. People seek to be entertained, informed or inspired in many more areas than traditional story telling. If we broadened the definition of listening beyond books we could begin a journey that would span a vast array of daily activities.

Outcome
We created a big idea, (beyond “audiobooks’). Next, we created a flexible brand architecture that allowed for new Audible offerings. We developed a brand personality that could stretch over this flexible framework and translate into a voice and tone that connected with each audience.
