The Amazon Music Brand Creative Team collaborates across all facets of Amazon Music, crafting diverse products, visual experiences, and assets. Within this team, the Motion Team specializes in designing motion solutions for two critical areas: product design and creative marketing initiatives.
In product design, our primary focus lies in crafting immersive and user-friendly experiences. We specialize in designing UI animations, transitions, and dynamic elements that elevate branding, usability, and overall user satisfaction.
On the creative marketing front, we specialize in directing and producing motion-based content tailored for diverse promotional channels such as OOH, social media, landing pages, and banner ads. Our goal here is to create captivating videos and animations that effectively convey a brand's message, resonate with the target audience, and achieve specific marketing objectives.
