Lema | There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's Mastercard. |
Sinopsis | The ad features a father using his MasterCard to help him get home for Christmas against all odds after his flight home is cancelled. He finally gets home after catching a plane, a train and a calling taxi from an isolated phone box. |
Filosofía | It was necessary for Mastercard to stand out from a crowded market, to increase awareness of the brand and increase card usage yet work within it existing marketing budget. Having thoroughly reviewed the UK market place, the 'Priceless' campaign (which had run in other markets) was tailored for the UK customer and launched in October 1999. For the campaign, under the theme 'There are some things that money can't buy, for everything else there's Mastercard' communicates a highly motivating balance of functional and emotional messages to build brand awareness and saliency and this helps us meet our objectives increasing the value and frequency of card transactions. |
Problema | Mastercard was seen as 'the other credit' lacking in social/personal relevance and aspiration. It was seen as grey and middle-aged. Visa, Mastercard main competitor had a greater awareness and more cards in circulation. Mastercard was also massively outspent by Barclaycard which as seen be Visa in the eyes of consumers. |
