About the team
The Amazon Music Experiences team is a pioneering business unit within Amazon Music that operates at the intersection of music, culture, brand partnerships, and live fan engagement. We are an industry-first experiences marketplace, creating a new revenue category by connecting premium brands with fans through immersive, culturally resonant activations tied to Amazon Music's artist programming and tentpole moments.
Our team builds, sells, and executes experiential campaigns that go beyond traditional advertising. We design physical and hybrid activations where brands show up authentically alongside artists and fans, creating moments that drive emotional connection, cultural relevance, and measurable business outcomes for our partners.
What We Do
We own the full lifecycle of experiential brand partnerships, from concept creation through sales through on-the-ground execution and post-campaign measurement. Our work spans:
- **Artist-Led Activations**: Partnering with artist teams to build branded experiences that complement and amplify the artist's creative vision while delivering value for brand partners. Our portfolio includes landmark executions such as Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out Experience, Bad Bunny's Residency Experience, De La Soul's DAISY Experience, and the Amazon Music 50 and Forever campaign celebrating 50 years of HipHop.
- **Live Programming Integration**: Creating brand experiences within Amazon Music Live programming, including the Thursday Night Football television series, where brands engage fans in real-time cultural moments.
- **Fan-First Experience Design**: Every activation we build starts with the fan. We design experiences where brand presence enhances the moment rather than interrupting it, ensuring fans walk away with a memory, not a media impression.
- **Experiences Marketplace**: We have architected a scalable business model that packages Amazon Music's cultural access, artist relationships, and fan touchpoints into a marketplace where brands can invest in experiences across a range of formats, budgets, and objectives.
How We Work
We operate as a cross-functional team embedded within Amazon Music's Global Creative Organization (GCO), partnering closely with artist relations, programming, marketing, production, legal, and finance. Externally, we work directly with brands and their agency partners to develop custom experiential solutions.
Our team thrives in ambiguity. We are building the playbook for a category that did not previously exist at Amazon, which means we move fast, test and learn, and scale what works. We hold ourselves to the standard of delivering world-class creative execution while operating with the commercial rigor of a high-growth business unit.
Our Impact
Since inception, the Experiences team has validated a $25M three-year revenue potential and secured a premium brand pipeline including partnerships with Listerine, Visa, Sonos, and Ford. We have established Amazon Music as a credible player in the experiential marketing landscape, with our leadership recognized as global subject matter experts, including speaking engagements at Advertising Week NYC, IBTM Global Exceptional Experiences in Barcelona, and serving as jurors for experiential marketing awards programs.
Who We're Looking For
We are scaling a team of customer-obsessed builders who combine creative ambition with commercial discipline. Our people are equally comfortable in a pitch room with a brand CMO, on-site at a live activation managing production logistics, and in a room with artist teams shaping the creative vision. If you want to build something new at the intersection of music, culture, and brand marketing, this is the team.
