Background

HiFi Klubben is a Nordic retailer that sells quality hifi-products with a very strong focus on sound quality. They’re known as the region’s leading experts on quality hifi and great sound, and HiFi Klubben is the go-to store for anyone looking for the best in speakers, amps, turntables and streaming systems. But how do we sell the concept of quality sound to a World that has forgotten the gift of listening?

Describe the strategy

Analysis shows that 85% of social media users watch videos without sound. We used this as a hook that succeeded in getting social media users to skip the skip button and engage with our message. The film worked as a wakeup call that reminded people to open their ears and rediscover the power of listening and the importance and joy of quality sound. This was emphasized through a flow educational content and articles about everything from nostalgia in music to quality headphones and speakers. Everyone who pledged to listen was rewarded with a voucher for quality hifi products.

Describe the execution

The herofilm was distributed through social media and drove traffic to a campaign website and a pledge to listen. Like-minded listeners were rewarded with a digital voucher for quality hifi products and a flow of educational content about the power of listening. Welcome Listeners forged a community of listeners and now works as a platform for newsletters, events, instore activations and social media content.
