Amazon Music: Christmas Originals

Each year Amazon Music commission ‘Christmas Originals’ - new Christmas tracks available exclusively on the platform. This campaign sought to drive listens of Amazon Music’s Christmas Originals in the UK, by artists Jorja Smith and Sam Ryder,

Retained agency for the client Amazon Music ran a multi-channel social, digital and experiential campaign to promote the tracks. As part of my role as freelance Influencer Director, I devised and executed all influencer activity with a suite of 15+ creators. 

The cultural insight behind this was mapping each artist’s cultural footprint with a community of creators. To promote the Jorja Smith track I selected authentic Londoners (as her song was a cover of 90s Walthamstow boyband East 17’s Stay Another Day) and gen-Z female fashion creators. For Sam Smith, I tapped LGBTQ creators that align with his camp sensibility and status as a Eurovision icon.

This meant selecting talent, contract negotiation, briefing and reporting with everything from seeding packs for micro-influencers and journalists to flagship content pieces with entertainment figures like Gogglebox’s Joe Baggs and Drag Race UK’s Kate Butch.
