Why is this work relevant for Direct?
We managed to create a strong hockey community, which made it possible to associate Mastercard brand with KHL.
Background
In 2018 Mastercard and KHL continued running the traditional Priceless League campaign in a partnership with KHL.
Describe the creative idea
We chose the most active fan as a monthly winner and gave him priceless prizes and KHL stars’ autographs.
According to the results of regular games, the best participants from each club, were defined. They were lucky to get out on the ice and share the Priceless Trophy with a team player from a favorite club.
Describe the strategy
All Priceless League digital activities were covered in the social networks owned by Mastercard and on the site mastercard.khl.ru.
Describe the execution
We’ve created a video instruction to explain users how to participate in Mastercard digital activities.
Significant PR-events were also covered throughout the entire season.
In 2018 Mastercard’s Priceless League tradition got a mascot, and a tutorial video was created about it.
To make users engaged in the activities we used such non-standard mechanics.
List the results

press, on TV, in Social nets and in famous bloggers’ posts.

discussion on hockey. It was possible for us to bring up opinion leaders who debated Mastercard activities.
