BACKGROUND

Humanizing a tech brand

Adyen is a Dutch Fintech company that changed the payment industry by making it easy for companies to accept and manage payments online and at POS through a single platform. While widely recognized in Europe, Adyen was relatively unknown in the US unlike one of its competitors Stripe. Our goal was to grow awareness for Adyen and influence businesses globally in an effort to convert them into pipeline opportunities and support our trillion commercial goals.
