JBL is an American audio electronics brand, best known for producing speakers and headphones. JBL entered the Amazon cosmos as a well-known brand with the goal of maintaining a consistent brand image not only on Amazon, but across its entire web presence and beyond. DEPT® took on the challenge of optimising a huge product portfolio in multiple marketplaces to increase brand awareness and product consideration while staying true to JBL’s beautifully cultivated brand identity.

Building a brand on Amazon
JBL asked us to optimise the product content for its very large portfolio on multiple marketplaces, while building and maintaining a uniform brand image in the Amazon cosmos. We needed to develop an Amazon presence for JBL to reach new shoppers and appeal to loyal customers, while fitting seamlessly into its existing e-commerce and corporate identity.
The main goal of this project was to achieve efficiency and feasibility. Cultivating success not only for the present, but also setting up for success in the future.
A comprehensive approach
We took a comprehensive approach, working to adhere to the Amazon content regulations while staying true to JBL’s international brand image, keeping a customer focus and raising brand awareness and product consideration.
When working with such a large portfolio across multiple markets and categories, it can be complicated to maintain a uniform brand image and to optimise the content in a timely manner. For JBL, we developed a master layout / design guideline with a one-size-fits-all design concept that could be applied to every content type in every marketplace.
This, combined with our Amazon expertise and local insight, allowed us to sustainably push JBL’s performance while creating a strong international brand image. In combination with content creation, we implemented content monitoring to ensure the maintenance of the optimised content.
Efficient & relevant content creation
Forms of content
Brand building on Amazon: We worked with the designs provided by JBL to maintain a consistent brand image across all aforementioned forms of content.
Brand building across products: Our design concept ensured a consistent design across multiple different product types.
Brand building across marketplaces: By applying our concept to every marketplace, we built a globally recognised brand image, regardless of which country customers are shopping in.
Monitoring optimised content to ensure continued quality
The energy and resources used to create relevant, optimised content for JBL is only fully exploited when it is monitored. Due to the high possibility of content deviation on Amazon, our optimised content does not always remain as the version that is live.
We implemented content monitoring for the JBL portfolio in order to:
- Notice the overwriting of already optimised content
- Quickly detect and correct any changes
- Monitor and adhere to changes in the Amazon guidelines
- Keep the intended, optimised content live at all times
Brand presence and time saved
With the help of DEPT®, JBL has built a strong, uniformed brand presence across all products, categories and marketplaces. The content design concept and implementation has boosted scalability and will cut time in half for future product optimisation.
