Visa “Money is Changing” Y2 | Integrated Brand Campaign





Role Creative Director
Agency Decoded
Director Gia Coppola @ The Director’s Bureau

          The evolution of the Money is Changing Campaign maintained the content-first approach of Y1 while evolving the visual system to Integrate more of Visa’s brand equity into the work without going full corp-core. We elevated the storytelling through live action narrative and documentary-style films featuring real women, as interviewed by Gia Coppola, talking about their own experiences navigating money issues in Hollywood. This was accompanied by OOH, social, and events and media activations that were executed in-house with our Decoded studio and creative teams, with partnership from Bustle media.
