PayPal has unveiled a B2B brand campaign, ‘The Melon Mogul’, to promote the launch of PayPal Open, its new all-in-one merchant platform.
The campaign tells the tongue-in-cheek story of a fictional farmer who finds himself at the centre of viral fame after his “glitter melons” explode in popularity on social media.
As demand for his product surges, he turns to PayPal Open to secure a business loan to expand his factory and gaining access to hundreds of millions of customers worldwide.
The narrative highlights the platform’s core message that whether it’s accessing financial tools to scale or tapping into global customer bases, PayPal Open helps businesses of every size grow.
The brand line — “When it’s time to grow, there’s one platform for all business, PayPal Open” — reinforces this proposition.
The campaign is the first in a series that will bring to life the transformative power of PayPal Open through imaginative storytelling.
Launched earlier this year, PayPal Open consolidates all of the company’s merchant offerings into a single, unified platform. It combines payments, financial tools, and AI-driven insights to simplify processes and enhance the overall merchant experience.
The platform has been designed with growth in mind, particularly for SMEs looking to expand quickly in an increasingly digital and global economy.
