| Story | The core idea and mission of the Mastercard Touch Card campaign is reflected in our tagline, “A world designed for all of us, is Priceless.”Not only did the Touch Card introduce a new standard for financial inclusion, our 360° campaign reinvented the way we use a wide range of advertising media to reach our demographic on their terms. Our goal was to get the Touch Card into the hands of those who need it most – and to show the world what was possible when designing a campaign for the partially sighted and blind.The innovative solutions we developed are applicable far beyond the Touch Card campaign – and designed to make all future communications, retail experiences and environments more accessible for low vision people everywhere.Every part of our campaign was vetted extensively and endorsed by The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), VISIONS/Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired, and accessible design leader, IDEMIA. |
