Throughout this year’s campaign, Visa will feature a diverse spectrum of women and highlight the practical steps they have taken to challenge existing money taboos and help create a more inclusive and equal future.
- The Cost: Visa will introduce, “The Cost,” a digital ad featuring moments throughout a woman’s life when she chose to avoid talking about money, even when it was to her detriment. As viewers watch, they’ll see the literal cost of her silence add up.
