WSJ + Hyundai + Amazon
2023
Remade
Amazon is officially shaking up the auto industry by transforming their digital marketplace into a one-stop shop for Hyundai vehicles. This partnership allows users to browse, finance, and purchase a car directly on the site before picking it up at a local dealership. It’s a complete “add-to-cart” experience that bridges e-commerce convenience with local inventory, integrating everything from transparent pricing to trade-ins into one seamless flow.
Following the visual thread of our previous work with The Wall Street Journal, we leaned into our signature collage-style voice, leveraging a tactile, cut-and-paste animation approach. Since purchasing a vehicle entirely online is still a relatively new concept for many, we made sure the messaging stayed razor-sharp. By mimicking the familiar “Buy It Now” rhythm of the Amazon platform, we translated a complex transaction into a process that feels as intuitive as ordering a new pair of shoes.
Ultimately, the goal was to create a visual experience that captures the sheer ease of shopping from your living room. We wanted to celebrate the death of the “old way” by cutting out the long, drawn-out song and dance of the traditional dealership floor. Through our animation, we’ve turned what used to be a weekend-long ordeal into a streamlined digital experience that values the user's time as much as their new ride.
