Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1."​ What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

In 2010 we started out by reinventing and modernizing the jukebox - for the first time ever enabling consumers to easily request their favorite songs right from their phone. After diving into the world of bars and entertainment, we saw that brick-and-mortar businesses across all industries struggled with outdated digital media products, fragmented systems, and tools that didn’t work together. Leveraging the foundations and technology already in place, we broadened our mission and started building a unified, multi-product platform – to help businesses large and small deliver better experiences and create stronger customer relationships. Today, Rockbot delivers Music, Audio-Messaging, Digital Signage, and Streaming TV to some of the world’s largest brands and thousands of small businesses across the US, allowing them to easily manage it all from one place. Across the platform, we’ve added Advertising and Retail Media solutions so businesses have more ways to generate revenue and monetize their environments. Rockbot continues to innovate and expand its services for our partners, from Walmart to Planet Fitness, Neiman Marcus to Shake Shack, and to many of your local “down-the-street favorites” - there’s no customer that is too large or small for us. We are here to help you succeed.
