    The Heart of Commerce

    Marketing Goal: MasterCard’s Little Piece of Plastic campaign serves to differentiate us from the competition, to educate existing and potential business partners about our holistic corporate story and to challenge perceptions of us as just a credit card company. The campaign emphasizes the notion that MasterCard payment cards are not “just a piece of plastic that lives in your wallet.” A MasterCard card represents a global network at the heart of commerce.
