Audio wizardry
When first approached we were asked to devise a cost effective audio book pack solution for an untested first novel by new author JK Rowling.
The publisher had a back catalogue of classics but was new to contemporary fiction and wanted to minimise the risk of high production costs and unknown sales potential. In the end, Harry Potter audio books have sold more than 25 million units.
UXB have handled the design and production of every Harry Potter audio book and every pack variant, including numerous collectors editions, in the entire series.
