Credit has a perception problem with younger consumers.

Not because people don’t want flexibility or rewards, but because the category hasn’t kept pace with how they expect to live and spend.

That disconnect shaped the thinking behind NOW Rewards Visa with the team at Finance Now.

Younger audiences expect immediacy, simplicity and control across almost every part of life, yet they’re also more cautious about credit than many people assume. Bridging that gap meant rethinking more than just the campaign.

“Own your moment” was built to reflect a different relationship with money. One that feels practical, flexible and grounded in everyday life rather than driven by traditional finance language.

From naming the card through to design, platform and rollout, this has been a fully integrated piece of work focused on creating something people can actually see themselves using.

Great to see the campaign picked up across StopPress, Campaign Brief and M+AD last week.

Sometimes your biggest competitor isn’t a brand, it’s your customer thinking it’s easier to stay put than make a change.

In our latest Contagion mind vault post, we unpack why marketing that removes effort and perceived risk is far more likely to win with consumers.
