It features Fletcher taking on a new challenge every day this month via Instagram and Twitter. Each week will include one live experience shared via Facebook Live and supported by YouTube content showcasing Fletcher’s newly acquired skills.
Celebrity help has been enlisted to coach Fletcher.

Other skills she will try include juggling, floristry, learning the violin, origami, magic tricks and yoga with husband Tom.

Alex Naylor, UK marketing director at Barclaycard, said: "This campaign demonstrates our ongoing strategic focus on social media and content creation and we are excited to find new and engaging ways to communicate with our audiences.
"January is the perfect time of year for setting new goals and we hope that Giovanna’s experiences will inspire and show people that whatever that ‘something’ is that they might want to start it can be easier to give it a go than they might think," he added.
