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

Deborah Goldingham – Head of Marketing, SEA, MasterCard

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
