When Amazon prepared to relaunch Whispercast<\/strong>, its digital content management platform for schools and enterprises, it needed a coordinated strategy to reintroduce the product to educators, administrators, and technology buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deepwake (under IOXD) partnered with the Amazon Education Marketing Team<\/strong> to design and implement a complete user acquisition and lifecycle campaign<\/strong> \u2014 spanning landing pages, emails, iconography, and marketing automation through Marketo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result was a cohesive, measurable launch experience that successfully connected Amazon’s technology vision with the education community.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whispercast was designed to make it easy for schools, districts, and enterprises to distribute digital content \u2014 including Kindle eBooks, apps, and documents \u2014 across devices like tablets, Chromebooks, and desktops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to drive adoption at scale, Amazon needed more than a product. It needed a story and system<\/strong> that educators could quickly understand, trust, and act on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges to Solve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Reintroduce Whispercast to K\u201312 and enterprise audiences with distinct messaging and visuals<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Simplify complex feature sets into clear value propositions for busy educators and IT managers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ensure brand alignment with Amazon\u2019s evolving visual identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Integrate campaign analytics into Marketo for measurable performance tracking<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Design consistent creative assets across emails, landing pages, and promotional content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    This wasn\u2019t just a design project. It was a full marketing system built for clarity, scalability, and conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    The Approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We collaborated closely with Amazon\u2019s in-house marketing, product, and legal teams<\/strong>, aligning design direction and messaging across multiple internal stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Through strategic workshops and rapid design iterations, we developed a unified acquisition framework that combined UX principles, storytelling, and automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our Focus Areas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Acquisition Strategy:<\/strong> Define audience segments and map user journeys from awareness to activation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Creative Direction:<\/strong> Design flexible visual systems aligned with Amazon\u2019s education and enterprise sub-brands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Marketing Execution:<\/strong> Create responsive landing pages, modular email templates, and campaign assets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Automation & Analytics:<\/strong> Integrate with Marketo to track engagement and measure campaign effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      The Solution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      We designed and delivered a complete digital marketing suite for Whispercast\u2019s relaunch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Landing Pages for Education and Enterprise<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Two high-converting landing pages were designed to communicate value clearly to distinct audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • K\u201312 Page:<\/strong> Focused on ease of classroom setup, centralized content management, and integration with Student Information Systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Enterprise Page:<\/strong> Highlighted content distribution, device control, and policy management for corporate training environments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Both pages featured custom iconography, focused copy, and direct CTAs to \u201cGet Started\u201d or \u201cRegister for Webinar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Each landing page was A\/B tested for layout and call-to-action placement, improving engagement and conversion rates across campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        2. Lifecycle and Acquisition Email Campaigns<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        We designed a multi-stage email campaign to engage existing users, reintroduce Whispercast improvements, and drive new signups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Key Email Campaigns:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Install Base Series:<\/strong> Announced upcoming improvements to existing users with subject lines like \u201cYou spoke. We listened.\u201d and \u201cThe new Whispercast is almost ready.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Acquisition Series:<\/strong> Targeted educators and IT buyers through third-party list rentals and Amazon Education partnerships.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Welcome Series (Amazon Inspire):<\/strong> Tailored onboarding emails for teachers and district administrators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Design Direction:<\/strong>
          We presented two creative approaches \u2014 one photographic and one illustrated \u2014 both centered on student imagery and the theme of \u201csimpler learning, smarter management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The final selected direction featured photography-driven layouts<\/strong> with supporting icons that conveyed ease, accessibility, and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          3. Iconography and Visual Language<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          We designed a consistent icon system representing content, devices, and management tools.
          These icons were used across landing pages, email templates, and Amazon\u2019s internal presentation materials, ensuring a cohesive visual identity across the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The goal was to make complex technology approachable and instantly recognizable \u2014 especially for educators with limited technical time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          4. Marketo Integration and Analytics<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          To close the loop between design and data, we implemented Marketo tracking<\/strong> for all campaign assets.
          This enabled Amazon to measure open rates, click-throughs, conversions, and user behavior across each funnel stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Marketo integration allowed for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Seamless tracking of lead acquisition sources<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Custom segmentation for K\u201312 vs enterprise audiences<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Dynamic content delivery and triggered follow-ups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            This integration ensured every design decision tied back to measurable outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Results<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            The Whispercast relaunch achieved strong engagement across Amazon\u2019s education channels and significantly improved adoption among existing and new users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Quantitative Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Qualitative Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                Collaboration and Execution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                Deepwake worked in direct collaboration with Amazon\u2019s Education Marketing Team<\/strong>, copywriters<\/strong>, and legal reviewers<\/strong> to ensure every creative and technical detail aligned with Amazon\u2019s brand and compliance standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Key Contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                • Coordinated with product and marketing leadership for visual approvals and rollout<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  The collaboration was fast-paced, global, and deeply integrated \u2014 reflecting the agility required to design at Amazon\u2019s scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  Reflection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
