GTMC products (12+) cover the full employee lifecycle from onboarding to exit, serving millions of Amazonians worldwide. As their Creative Director, I co-owned holistic GTMC branding, visual and verbal design languages, and brand architecture.
BACKGROUND:
GTMC is a division of Amazon HR. Key challenges: complicated product structure, unclear brand perception, and undefined hierarchy among GTMC, HR, and Employer Brand.
GTMC's visual brand was unintentional—inheriting Amazon HR's UI without comprehensive brand strategy.

THE WORK:
The project split into 4 phases: 1) Brand Strategy, 2) Brand Book, 3) Roll out and 4) Review & Improve.
Phase 1: Brand Strategy
I audited GTMC products, research, and stakeholder interviews—revealing aesthetic disparity. This informed Brand Strategy and Brand Brief documents covering positioning, mission, vision, and objectives.
