Bringing equitable opportunities to Canada’s underserved writers
The Challenge
Audible, one of the world’s leading content producers and distributors, is on a mission to improve the lives of those with less privilege wherever it operates. In Canada, Audible’s platform is growing in popularity, bringing its vast library of audio entertainment to all corners of the nation. In order to ensure it was living its mission, Audible Canada engaged Yulu to help identify some of Canada’s most prevalent challenges and the communities most affected by them, to inform the creation of a platform to engage and support underserved audiences nationwide.
The Solution
Yulu worked with Audible on a 6-month research project to identify Canada’s greatest social challenges and explore opportunities for impact. The team researched affordable housing, mental health, clean water, and Indigenous rights. This time, the stakeholder interview process required a different approach. Rather than focusing on the Audible Canada team, Yulu dug deeper. We connected with members of Audible’s global community to explore what it means to truly Activate Caring in the community. Activate Caring is Audible’s global social responsibility commitment which guides and informs its social responsibility and impact work.
“Yulu’s global expertise and skillful execution of IWC in CA was essential to the success of the program, which we attribute in large part to their talented team, thoughtful approach, and commitment to cultural authenticity.”
