THE GOAL

Position Impact Winter Season 2 as a must-hear event—building anticipation and deepening audience engagement. The goal: maximize listening and sampling by driving traffic to the Impact Winter franchise landing page, where both new and returning fans can seamlessly enter its world. Through smart targeting and strategic storytelling, we’ll fuel curiosity, spark conversation, and convert passive interest into active listening.

HOW ?

This campaign was designed as a discovery, unfolding like an investigative report rather than traditional marketing. By presenting Impact Winter as a real event—through science, survival stories, and an LA Times false cover wrap—the campaign blurred fiction and reality, making the LA Times a participant rather than just a platform.

A two-minute animated video framed Impact Winter as a catastrophic event, combining scientific realism with survivor accounts to create urgency and emotional stakes. A high-impact building projection at LA Times headquarters further immersed audiences, transforming the campaign into a physical experience that couldn’t be ignored.

The Los Angeles Times building at night, with the illuminated “Los Angeles Times” sign on top. A large promotional image for the Audible Original Impact Winter is projected onto the side of the building. The image shows a lone female warrior with a sword walking through snow, beneath a red, skull-shaped cloud. Palm trees are silhouetted in the foreground.
A stylized promotional print newspaper spread, which appeared as a full-spread advertisement in the print Los Angeles Times, for the Audible Original series Impact Winter. The layout features bold headlines like “COMET IMPACTS” and “VAMPIRES STALK SUNLESS WORLD,” with warnings about UV-sensitive creatures called "Blighters." There are fictional weather forecasts, vampire survival tips, and a marked map of London showing danger zones. On the far right is a dramatic poster of a female warrior holding a sword, standing beneath a red skull-like cloud, with the text “Impact Winter: Don’t Listen in the Dark. New Season Available Now.” Logos for Audible appear throughout.

The campaign translated engagement into direct action, driving audiences to Audible’s landing page.
