Mastercard. Master of Priceless moments. At the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan – the biggest sporting event on the global calendar that year – Mastercard worked to give fans and players once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Over 44 days, 48 matches and 12 venues; leveraging Mastercard’s technology and consumer-first mindset; all the while making fans a major part of the action.
Octagon created The Mastercard Live Trophy.
Bringing together global rugby fans, Japanese design and live storytelling to capture every unique game of the tournament. Live-etching the priceless moments onto the trophy in each stadium, which were gifted to the Player of the Match, seconds after the final whistle.
The Mastercard Live Trophy pushed consumer engagement through the stadium roof, increased brand awareness way beyond the touchline and showcased Mastercard as the innovative brand, capable of leveraging marquee assets like their Player of The Match Trophy and using it to exceed all expectations. And while it’s an asset that aligns Mastercard with the pinnacle of performance, we knew the reward should be gifted from the fans themselves.
Fans and athletes both loved the creation of the revolutionary trophy, they saluted the POTM and widely shared the behind-the-scenes content – because this trophy was made by them in an instant and commemorated each match forever.
Octagon combined the power of live sports entertainment, digital media buying and real-time storytelling to immerse fans around the world into every match, keeping Mastercard in the hearts and minds of people across the whole tournament.
Mastercard created Live Trophies at 45 matches in 12 stadiums across six weeks earning the attention of fans, players and the media alike. We drove incredible conversation around Mastercard’s technology prowess, all to help get fans closer to the priceless moments they love.
