Worth the Wait

To celebrate the long-awaited release of No Time To Die—17 months later than originally planned—we invited Daniel Craig to tease fans with a refreshing, ice-cold Heineken.

But there’s a real basis to the claim that a Heineken is worth the wait. In partnership with Edelman, we ran a real-world social experiment where 115 people received a cold Heineken at intervals between 0 and 30 minutes. The study showed that those who waited 20 minutes enjoyed their beer the most.

Remember that next time there’s a queue at the bar.

Some tastes are not for everyone. Others are.

For the launch of Heineken Silver in Asia, our focus was on highlighting the smooth, refreshing quality of this new premium lager, crafted to suit all tastes.

Party like there is a tomorrow.

The Heineken bottle is where all of the brand’s green aspirations are met: it’s recyclable, it’s reusable, and it’s also green on the inside, since it contains beer brewed with sustainable practices. We used it as a key element in this 360° campaign, pairing it with witty headlines to showcase the brand’s commitment #foragreenerworld.

Solar energy

Heineken is brewed with 100% green energy, including solar. This was our chance to give the news some exposure.

Circular packaging

Heineken bottles are made from 90% recycled glass. Considering how many bottles they produce every year, that’s a lot of recycled glass.

Sustainable Barley

Up to 70% of the barley used worldwide to brew Heineken is farmed sustainably. By 2030, the goal is to close the gap and reach 100% sustainable barley.

Wind Energy

Heineken beer is brewed with 100% green energy, including wind power. Being a Dutch company, that’s no surprise.
