Making money cool again

We launched PayPal as ‘New Money’. Our idea was to make them stand for all the positive advancements that have been developed in the payment world, pushing against the old way of doing things, which people saw as a broken financial system. Our anthemic ad followed up with social and digital films put a stake in the ground and shift perceptions. The app saw more downloads than any month or quarter tracked by PayPal, and social conversation sentiment increased significantly from -22% to 33%.
