In a world increasingly dominated by text and visuals, there's a powerful longing for genuine connection. Buz, a ground-breaking new social audio app, is tapping into this desire with a fresh campaign that highlights the unparalleled intimacy and immediacy of the human voice.

Forget endless scrolling and carefully crafted text messages. Buz prioritises the raw, emotional power of real-time voice communication, forging deeper connections between people from anywhere in the world.

Connecting hearts, one voice at a time

Buz’s new TVC campaign, launched across Southeast Asia, showcases everyday moments amplified by the magic of voice. From a mother hearing her child's sweet "mama" across miles, to an off-key, but comforting serenade shared between loved ones, the campaign beautifully portrays the unique bond created through instant audio interaction.

Featuring beloved regional celebrities such as Ain Edruce (Malaysia), Maylada Susri and Teeradetch Metawarayut (Thailand), and Barbie Forteza and David Licauco (Philippines), the campaign has resonated deeply with local audiences, ensuring its message of connection is heard loud and clear.

A simple interface, a powerful impact

The secret to buz’s success lies in its remarkably intuitive design. The app boasts a minimalist aesthetic, centred around a single, vibrant green “push-to-talk” button. This simple, yet powerful interface, eliminates digital clutter, allowing users to focus entirely on the conversation – the genuine tone, the subtle inflections, the emotion in every word.

Designed for accessibility, buz transcends language barriers and technical expertise. It’s built for everyone, making authentic communication accessible regardless of age, background or communication style. And with features such as auto-play on the locked screen, staying connected is effortlessly seamless.

AI-powered conversations for a globally connected world

Buz doesn’t just rely on the power of the human voice, it leverages cutting-edge AI technology, developed in partnership with OpenAI, to enhance the experience even further. Features such as instant voice-to-text transcription when the app is on mute offers flexibility and discretion, while seamless voice translation breaks down language barriers, truly positioning buz as a globally accessible communication tool.

"In today's world, people are craving genuine connections," explains James Lin, CEO of Vocalbeats, the company behind buz. "Buz prioritises the power of voice, offering a simple and intuitive platform that fosters effortless, real-time conversations. Our AI features only enhance this experience, making voice communication even more accessible and enjoyable."

Beyond voice: A rich multimedia experience

While voice communication is at its core, buz offers more than just audio. Users can seamlessly share videos, images, links, and locations within the app, enhancing the richness of their interactions. Fun features such as voice filters and voicemojis add a playful touch, making conversations even more engaging.

The future of connection is here

With over 20 million downloads globally, and a rapidly expanding presence across Southeast Asia, the US, UK, and Europe, buz is poised to redefine how we connect. Its commitment to innovation and the user experience is evident in its new R&D and operations centre in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, solidifying its position as a global leader in voice-based social interaction.
