Jonathan E. Adams’ Post

Spending the week in Cannes with Audible’s Susan Jurevics at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has been incredibly productive and rewarding.. Connecting with global partners, absorbing the world’s finest creative minds & their work, and connecting across marketplaces and Wavemaker, GroupM and WPP leadership — will all help fuel innovation and creativity for our #OneAudible teams. This has surpassed expectations in every way — and will certainly fuel an exciting year ahead!

Huge congrats to Audible, Fold7 and our #OneAudible team at Wavemaker -- all this work, across so many timezones, involving so many teams, is just awesome. It helps us all of us see how our regular lives can be transformed by listening. Personally, my monotonous and seemingly endless lap swimming has been recast for me as inspiring and fun (yes!) via stories of survival in WWII (Beneath a Scarlet Sky), launching new global markets for the Disney company (The Ride of a Lifetime), or exploring America's national parks with a snarky husband & wife team (Dear Bob & Sue) - and that's just the last few months! Credit to Karen Adams and Evan Kory for these book recommendations! :-) This campaign taps into WHY we all love Audible -- and that's what energizes me the most. Go Audible! #moretoimagine Zygo swim headphones!

Audible is just an inspiring organization from top to bottom. They prove that warmth & humanity can co-exist throughout an organization -- living alongside boundless creativity and jaw dropping success. Newark is the company's hometown and HQ - and it's impossible to miss how much they care about, live within, and actively give back to their community. Every Audible employee knows the "5 People Principles" well; this story is just a small example of their corporate values showing their true colors! #valuesmatter #5peopleprinciples

Why you should never be too proud to ask questions! Why we should all be more patient. And recognize when to go fast, or slow at work (and in life). Why our people are the reason clients choose us -- and stay with us! and... Why in another life, Sharb might have opened a restaurant / bar in Tokyo ...his favorite city!   Huge thanks to Sharb Farjami, GroupM's CEO North America, for joining us for our 5 Questions "new tradition" last month - and congratulations to Lisa Ouyang, #OneAudible's Operations Lead at Wavemaker, for leading an inspiring conversation.     ...Also, for the record, Sharb's listening to George Orwell's reimagined "1984" on Audible at the moment. The orchestra and cast really help bring it to life! #5QuestionsWith #OneAudibleBookClub #InspiringLeaders #readmore #listenmore

Thanks Anna Hickey and WPP for allowing me to share our #OneAudible story. 1 year ago, Audible nudged us to up our cross sharing game — and it’s been remarkable to see what a shared vision and tight global leadership team can do together (almost anything). The #5Ps described here are just the beginning of why our team clicks so well with Audible’s global network. The real work is leaning into each other, connecting frequently, IMing both serious and silly comments at all hours of the day — and being clear that we are all here to propel Audible’s business, together. Proud to have helped build our global team Wavemaker! #purpose #process #provocation #partnership #positivity

Huge thanks to Jessica Maley and our Wavemaker leadership for embracing our new Provocative Pioneers global talent sharing platform. Designed to bring our global teams closer together, I'm thrilled our global #OneAudible team could be the first up to experience it. Congratulations again to Jonathan Gorelick and Breanne Welsh for embracing your 2 weeks in London -- and Becky Potter (and our Audible UK clients) for making the UK so welcoming. This couldn't have gone better -- both teams learned from each other and our business has already benefited. Thank you all for making the most of this. I mean, video calls are great -- but in person is way better. #ProvocativePioneers #OneAudible5Ps #Purpose #Process #Provocation #Partnership #Positivity

Huge congratulations to our Wavemaker team, The Navy Partnership (WPP), Allen Owens, Sandra Muoio and their collective client and agency teams who make mission for the US Navy every day. This is great work -- and honestly -- it's always great work from this team. #GoNAVY!
