Mastercard: Small Business is Big Business Whitepaper Campaign
Mastercard
Inspired by the vital role small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play in the global economy, Mastercard developed a dynamic campaign focused on their digital transformation and e-commerce journey.
Describe the brief or inspiration behind your project/campaign? What was your team tasked with?
The inspiration for our project stemmed from the recognition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as the backbone of the global economy. Our team was tasked with developing a campaign that addressed the evolving needs of SMEs as they embrace digital transformation and e-commerce. We aimed to highlight how Mastercard can support these businesses with tailored payment solutions and tools for growth.
To inform our approach, we conducted extensive research, including two studies and surveys with over 10,000 SMEs. This research provided valuable insights into their challenges and unmet needs, guiding our messaging and strategy.
