Amazon looks to connect with new and existing customers each year for its most anticipated shopping event, Prime Day. Since 2021, they’ve briefed us to craft campaigns that roll out with equal effectiveness across the world, bringing a fresh wave of creativity and strategic insight every time.
2021: On a Roll for Prime Day
The 2021 campaign was all about cultural relevance on owned channels. Our research found that roller-skating was seeing a spike in search and interest on social media, so we spun out an attention-grabbing social video idea. We teamed up with three pro skaters and director Anthony Rubinstein to shoot a fun, stunt-filled sequence in one of Amazon’s busy Fulfilment Centres. The campaign activated across 18 markets, surpassing social engagement goals by a staggering 75%.
2022: Prime Day Creator Reveal
For 2022, Amazon wanted us to target Gen Z consumers with the Prime Day date announcement. We partnered with a diverse ensemble of creators known for their originality and viral appeal. From the spectacular VFX of Younes Zarou to the quirky storytelling of Scott’s Reality, the hypnotic moves of Urban Theory, and the edible art of Lara Cakes Anything, this campaign unleashed the creativity of top talent. The creator-led approach paid off – nearly doubling the benchmarks for views and more than tripling engagement targets.
