The question · JBLHow can we inspire our brands to create more authentic and aspirational expressions of Gen Z and unlock their enormous growth potential?
What we did
Helped JBL recapture the hearts of Gen Z by understanding their lives, their loves and their world, then building a meaningful brand purpose expressed in a way that resonates with them.
Our approach
01Created a window onto the world of Gen Z, mining UGC on Visible™ to see how they express themselves across Europe, North America and APAC
02Crafted a fresh, authentic representation of the brand purpose, "to make voices heard", with visual and verbal guidelines
03Helped the brand team prioritise the subcultures where audio plays a key role, to keep evolving culture
