Said I read you
but I lied
How do you sell time-consuming content to a time-starved world? How can we be lovers if we can’t be friends? At least Michael Bolton could help us answer one of those questions.

Insight
Audible’s competition isn’t books. It’s the industry that dominates the average Australian’s 3.5hr daily audio diet: music.
Idea
Now reading books is as easy as listening to music.
Execution
We developed a music video starring none other than Grammy-Award winner and self-confessed bibliophile, Michael Bolton, performing a fresh take on his 1993 power ballad.

The mullet may be gone but his incredible vocal range remains. *Sound on*
