Social Media Launch & Visual Direction

Overview
Overview
While working at McCann Spain, I had the opportunity to shape the visual direction for Mastercard’s first official social media presence in Spain. The challenge was exciting from the start: launching their new Instagram account from scratch and defining how the brand would speak visually to Spanish audiences. We created distinct visual styles for each content pillar to better connect with different target groups. The account—now with over 11K followers—quickly became a reference point for Mastercard’s digital presence in the region.
