The Road To Milan – APPIES Asia Pacific 2016 Gold Winner

“The Road To Milan” was an APPIES Asia Pacific 2016 Gold winning campaign, created for MasterCard Vietnam by Digital Arts Network (DAN), Singapore.

For a country like Vietnam where cash is king, MasterCard needed to come up with a campaign that would encourage people to do more card transactions.

Here’s what they did.

Campaign Synopsis

For the first time in Vietnam, MasterCard was able to build a direct relationship with its end customers.

By integrating a proprietary tool, building on a powerful insight and leveraging a global sponsorship asset, MasterCard managed to innovate their traditional marketing approach and transform a collective love for football into card usage, engagement and card loyalty in one of the toughest markets in Asia.

Presenters:

Adrian Adshade – Regional Strategy & Planning Director, Digital Arts Network (DAN), Singapore
