Mastercard - Start Something Priceless

The iconic Priceless campaign was born out of the insight that experiences matter more than things. That insight is alive and well today, but on its 20th anniversary. Instead of being an observer of priceless moments, Mastercard became an enabler of priceless experiences. Together with five-time GRAMMY® nominee SZA, we made seven unique renditions of Willie Dixon’s “You Can’t Judge A Book By The Cover” to spread a message about acceptance, and start something priceless for aspiring artists fighting against adversity.
