 Role Creative Director
 Agency Decoded
            Millennial women would rather talk to their friends about their sex lives than their salaries. We found this out when we worked with Visa to conduct a comprehensive study around women's real thoughts and feelings when it comes to money. So what do you do when a generation is comfortable talking about everything from sexual harassment to period panties in public, but still won't talk openly about money? We created a campaign designed to start the conversation. The findings from our study informed every piece of content, and the content-centric approach was designed to use Visa's reach and partnerships to elevate women's voices, living firmly in her world, and speaking her language--a sharp departure from Visa's previous approach to brand voice.
