The Challenge
How can we connect Card Members to neighborhoods across the globe?

American Express set out to deepen relationships between merchant partners who warmly welcome Amex and Card Members by telling the deeper stories of the communities that matter to both audiences.



Each month we tell in-depth stories about Amex merchants and their neighborhoods across the globe, showing off their passion for what they do and the impact it has on their community.

The campaign comes to life through scroll-stopping photography and videos.
