Hasta La Creative!

Heineken planned to conduct a mass sampling of their alcohol-free beer Heineken 0.0 among the crowds at the F1 GP in Melbourne. But just 3 days before the event, the F1 was cancelled due to Covid. As we quickly prepared to sample the product in bars and pubs across Sydney and Melbourne. But then they too ?were suddenly closed n in a lockdown, so we needed to urgently develop a way to get the product into the ?hands of consumers, with zero contact.

Partnering with the University of Sydney, ?we programmed industrial robots to serve Heineken 0.0 from a specially designed pop-up store for four consecutive days and drove footfall with content and news media. A beer was served every minute, the event appeared in 145 news media outlets reaching 79 million people, and retail sales increased +44% over the following 6 months.
