“With The Date, we are keen to show that we are not creating one hero but that in every Heineken drinker there is a legendary hero in the making” adds Sandrine Huijgen, Manager Global Heineken® Communication. She concludes, “We have started a great creative adventure as a brand, and as a team. We are just finding our voice and we have the firm motivation to continue on this path!”
The Heineken date/legend campaign includes the release of digital material, including a unique tongue-in-cheek “Legendary Making of” and a music video for “Jaan Pehechaan Ho”, with more exciting consumer participation elements launching in the coming months. The films can be viewed on the Heineken® YouTube Channel and on the Heineken® Facebook Fan Page. Heineken is using the Twitter hashtag, #thedate, to promote the campaign.
