Priceless Diagrams
Creative idea
Around the world, when you say the word “priceless” one brand immediately comes to mind. That doesn’t happen by accident, only through decades of consistency, investment, and maintaining relevance. This is the story of how Mastercard reimagined its distinctive brand assets to stay relevant in a fast-moving, attention-poor world. By turning their iconic overlapping circles and the idea of priceless into a repeatable, culturally attuned storytelling system, we created a format that could flex across moments, markets, and mindsets. It demonstrates that consistency and long-term investment in brand can give Mastercard an unfair advantage over its competitors.
