Ten years in green

More than ten years with Heineken in Latin America: Champions League, music and city life, country by country, always signed off by Heineken Global.

“A global brand doesn't get translated. It becomes local, one city at a time.”

Overview

Heineken has some of the strictest brand codes in the world. For more than ten years we took it to Chile, Paraguay, Costa Rica and Bolivia with one team, getting every piece approved by Heineken Global.

The brief was never to reinvent it. It was to make it local: the Champions League, music and the city lived in Santiago, Asunción and San José as if the brand had been born there.

We started in digital and grew with the brand into integrated campaigns: media, content, influencers, PR, point of sale, events and internal marketing.

Execution

CHILE, WHERE IT STARTED

With CCU we made Chile one of Heineken's benchmark digital markets. #HeinekenBike rode through Santiago and Valparaíso on twelve bikes brought from Holland, #FestHunters sent eight fans to Rock in Rio and Cities Summer explored the city with insiders and local media.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, HOSTING THE WORLD

In 2016 Chile was one of the nine global hostmarkets for #ChampionTheMatch: David Trezeguet commented a live match for Heineken fans worldwide from the top of Santiago, and the hashtag trended all afternoon.

PARAGUAY, FROM DIGITAL TO 360°

We won the account in 2016 and grew it into the full UEFA Champions League campaign: TV, radio, outdoor, digital, point of sale, giant trophies, exclusive packs, internal marketing and the Final Screening in Asunción.

COSTA RICA, THE CITY IS YOURS

With FIFCO we built the digital strategy from scratch plus a calendar of experiences: Open San José with bike routes and the Heineken Bike, the Champions League final in a tent for thousands of fans, Fashion Week and the Celebration Party.
