Amplifying Sustainability Through Purpose-Driven Storytelling

Overview

‍

‍Sustainability is more than just a trend; it’s a movement that is shaping the future of brands worldwide. In our latest project with JBL, we focused on showcasing the JBL Go 3 Eco’s commitment to sustainability, creating a stills campaign that highlighted both the product’s features and the company’s dedication to eco-conscious innovation. The JBL Go 3 Eco speaker is not only known for its exceptional sound quality but also its sustainable materials and design, making it the perfect product for consumers who value both performance and the planet.

At Mauja Media, we wanted to ensure that this message of sustainability was communicated in a powerful, visual way—reflecting JBL’s mission to inspire positive environmental change. The campaign’s goal was to demonstrate that sustainability is no longer a niche concern; it’s integral to a brand's core values and can differentiate a brand in a competitive market.

‍Concept

‍

‍Sustainability has become a critical component of brand identity, and for JBL, it is key to standing out in a crowded market. Through our stills campaign, we aimed to communicate JBL’s commitment to sustainable innovation, not as a side note but as the core of the JBL Go 3 Eco’s identity. We focused on creating imagery that resonated with eco-conscious consumers, positioning the speaker as the perfect blend of cutting-edge design and environmental responsibility.

The concept was simple yet powerful: to showcase the product in natural, outdoor settings, where its sustainable materials and rugged features could be celebrated. By placing the JBL Go 3 Eco in the heart of nature, we reinforced its role as a product that aligns with the values of outdoor enthusiasts, travelers, and eco-conscious individuals.

Execution

‍

‍We meticulously planned the shoot to highlight the JBL Go 3 Eco's eco-friendly features, including its recycled materials and compact, durable design. The location was key—natural landscapes, close to bodies of water, and on hiking trails, where the product could be shown in use during outdoor adventures. These settings allowed us to not only showcase the speaker's durability and portability but also align it with a lifestyle that values sustainability and environmental consciousness.

The images captured moments of adventure, where the JBL Go 3 Eco was present in the hands of individuals enjoying the outdoors, creating an emotional connection between the product and its audience. We used natural light to bring out the speaker’s vibrant colors while keeping the focus on its eco-friendly design and the positive impact it makes on the environment.
