Dial-A-Story

Penguin Books Australia asked us: How can we create intimate connections between our authors and readers?

Dial-A-Story

Penguin Books Australia asked us: How can we create intimate connections between our authors and readers?

We created Dial-A-Story, an interactive storytelling experience inside an old-fashioned phone booth branded with the iconic Penguin logo. The first booth was located at Melbourne’s Library at the Dock.

Pick up the phone and dial the number of one of five beloved Penguin Australia writers – John Safran, Jamie Durie, Graeme Base, Father Bob Maguire or Maggie Beer. You’ll hear an original story from the author. Plus, you’ll be invited to leave a message of your own.
