Amazon kicked off its book-focused campaign That Reading Feeling last year with a mixed media ad created by agency partner Droga5 London.

The second instalment of the campaign continues to celebrate the place of books at the heart of culture, and reflects the boom in audio storytelling by using radio ads to support the print, digital and social assets.

For the print campaign, the agency commissioned 19 illustrators (some from the first time around) to create 110 individual designs that bring new life to the invisible magic that happens inside our imaginations when we read.

Featured illustrators include Angela Kirkwood, Yonk, and Leanne Rule, while the photography was led by Felicity Ingram, best known for her fashion and beauty work for the likes of British Vogue.

Each illustrator was briefed with the genre of a book and a specific word or visual to bring to life. The result is a playful mixed media approach that seeks to mirror the rich mixture of feelings that a good read can bring.

The campaign also appears on social, where it focuses on different characters as they react to the books they are reading, and extends to radio, where it explores the unique reactions that different readers have when enjoying a book.
