The Indian version of the campaign leads with the tagline, “Sunne Se Badhegi Soch”.

Audible Inc., an Amazon company and the creator and provider of premium audio storytelling, announced the launch of its first global brand marketing campaign, establishing a consistent voice across all marketplaces and audience touchpoints. Set to roll out across multiple global marketplaces today and over the course of the next few months, Audible’s brand promise is brought vibrantly to life through all facets of the campaign.

The brand execution explores how listening to Audible immerses all in extraordinary worlds, changes our mood, perceptions, views-- all while engaging in routine daily activities. Emphasising the remarkable contrast of the two very different worlds that play out simultaneously while actively listening to stories that transport you and doing tasks like commuting, exercising, cooking, cleaning, this brand campaign is defined by rich and immersive visual and linguistic devices—just like Audible’s access to entertainment, escapism, education, and culture.

The campaign’s social media content touchpoints, shared across influencer and Audible social channels, illustrate the versatility and adaptability of the creative’s ethos. Leveraging the perspectives of a range of global influencers, the content brings to life the transformative aspects of imagination when listening to different genres on Audible. The campaign by Audible, an Amazon company is ultimately expressed in its Indian tagline, “Sunne Se Badhegi Soch”.

What’s clear through consumer insights and in conversations with our listeners is that listening to Audible gives people a way to imagine more and brings flavor, texture and color to the everyday rhythm of their lives.”
