Combining a book release with a film launch can supercharge your audience reach. Whether you’re an indie creator or a studio team releasing both formats side by side creates more excitement, more content, and more reasons for people to engage with your story.
At MaxVision Films, we’ve taken this approach with Ding Dong Ditch — a thrilling story brought to life through an e-book, audiobook, and soundtrack. Here’s how you can do it too.
1. Create a Story Universe with Multiple Entry Points
Not everyone reads books. Not everyone watches films. But when you offer multiple formats—you meet people where they are.
Release a Book + Audiobook Bundle to engage readers and listeners.
Use soundtracks and voiceover work to add cinematic energy to the audiobook.
Include a film trailer to preview the visual version and build hype.

2. Sync Your Release Schedule
If the film, audiobook, and e-book all drop around the same time, you multiply the chances of your story going viral. Build your strategy to sync:
Social media teasers
Trailer launches
Chapter previews and voiceover snippets
Soundtrack highlights
This layered promotion helps you stay in your audience’s feed longer.
3. Collaborate with Artists and Voice Actors
Your audiobook and soundtrack are not afterthoughts — they’re opportunities to spotlight voiceover talent and musicians.
We’re inviting voiceover artists and musicians to be part of the next storytelling wave. Join us in pushing creative boundaries.

4. Promote the Combo, Not Just One Format
Promote the experience, not just the product. A book and film together provide a full narrative journey.
A reader might buy the audiobook to listen on the go.
A listener may want to watch the trailer after finishing the story.
A film viewer might be inspired to read the original book for deeper context.

5. Use Smart SEO and Content Strategy
In your blogs, ads, and social posts, use primary and secondary keywords naturally to draw search traffic.
6. Build Hype with a Trailer and Visuals
A great trailer gives your story momentum. Share it across your platforms. Pair that with visuals from the e-book cover, audiobook scenes, or voiceover sessions.

7. Encourage Feedback and Community Reviews
Once your audience consumes your work, get them talking.
Ask them to leave a review on your website
Create a hashtag for readers and viewers to share reactions
Share testimonials and quotes across social channels
Promote Long-Term
Don’t stop after the launch. Repurpose your content:
Turn book excerpts into reels or TikToks
Post behind-the-scenes footage from the audiobook or film
Re-release with bonus scenes or soundtrack updates
