Amazon

The Challenge: In 2010, Amazon faced an existential threat: the launch of the Apple iPad. To protect the Kindle and Amazon’s ecosystem, Jeff Bezos—a noted skeptic of traditional advertising—knew the brand had to evolve from a "bookseller" to a universal marketplace. The challenge was creating a campaign that met Apple's marketing prowess while adhering to Bezos’s philosophy that every dollar should be spent on the customer experience.
The Solution: Building trust with a client who distrusted the agency model required radical transparency. I orchestrated a "live" post-production ecosystem, embedding our lead editor at Amazon HQ in Seattle in an office adjacent to Bezos. This allowed for real-time feedback and direct alignment with senior leadership. I managed the complex logistics of the shoot, including 50+ product integrations and talent casting, while serving as the primary bridge between the agency and Amazon’s executive team.
The Result: Beyond the campaign itself, the success lay in the New Business Win. We successfully navigated one of the most rigorous pitch and production processes in the industry, proving that a data-obsessed, skeptical client could be won over by agile, high-trust leadership.
