12. Visa Tap to Pay | Social Campaign





 Role Creative Director
 Agency Decoded
          Visa was struggling to get people to adapt their contactless Tap to Pay technology in the US. And they didn't entirely know why. It was really big in Europe, so why not here? We didn't just need a brand awareness campaign. We needed a real-time learning engine. So we worked with directing team Terri Timely to create a set of modular videos. With a library of mix-and-match scenes, we created work that could be optimized to gain new insights in perpetuity. Seriously. We tried doing the math. We're not math people. But pretty sure it's in the thousands. This made it possible for us to make ads that could be optimized to perform, but not in the typical “performance advertising” way.
