EGYPT – Mastercard, a financial services corporation, has announced the expansion of its globally-renowned Priceless platform in the Egyptian market to bring people in Egypt closer to their passions.
Priceless is a platform that connects people across the world with their passions, including sports and music, and offers consumers a wide range of unique and exclusive experiences, some tied to Mastercard’s celebrated roster of event sponsorships and ambassadors.
As part of the rollout, Amir Eid, lead singer of Cairokee, and Mayar Sherif, the highest ranked Egyptian woman in tennis history, will join the Mastercard family as its first Egyptian brand ambassadors and be featured in Mastercard’s first fully-integrated local Priceless campaign.
“Our Priceless platform lies at the heart of our business and has been our way of connecting people to their passions for nearly 25 years. As Mastercard keeps evolving as a brand, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the markets we operate in and the communities we serve,” said Mustapha Kassem, Vice President, Marketing and Communications, Middle East & North Africa, Mastercard.
“We are delighted to deepen our connection with the people of Egypt as we expand our Priceless platform in meaningful ways to not only showcase Egyptian talent to the world, but to also offer people the opportunity to Start Something Priceless.
“We are excited to welcome Mayar and Amir to the Mastercard family and look forward to many Priceless milestones as we continue to invest in this dynamic market.”
