International beer brands Heineken and Amstel have been launched in a new four-litre PET keg with an integral tap supplied by APPE. The new “Tapje” keg is a small draft-beer system, which consumers can use at home. It offers an innovative cost-effective alternative to the traditional crate of beer, with greater flexibility for consumers. It has been launched in the Netherlands prior to introduction into other markets.
Heineken, which is well-known for its successful bottle design experiments and deep involvement with the music industry and youth culture, is stepping into the interior design zone and is encouraging emerging designers to take part in development of a pioneering nightclub. The project, which was announced back in April, has been launched last week and will be open until August 14 for young and aspiring designers from New York City, São Paulo, Tokyo and Milan. The ultimate goal is to develop a state-of-the-art live concept club space, which will be unveiled throughout the duration of Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2012 in April in Milan.
Heineken, which has scored big with its awesome ‘Open Your World’ campaign by Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, pulls the essence of this promotion for the new advertising project for Heineken Light, the product sold exclusively on the U.S. market. The new campaign, celebrating special experiences and running as part of the ambitious ‘Be a Man of the World’ platform, debuted last Friday (July 1) on national TV with the ‘Snakeskin Jacket’ spot, the first one in the series.
Beer and music do match. This was proved by numerous partnerships and collaborations with performers launched by many brands including Heineken, Grolsch, Carlsberg, as well as premium lager brand Kronenbourg 1664, which is to release a new music-centered addition to its ‘Slow the Pace’ campaign, devised by BBH. Just like Levi’s did within its ‘Pioneer Session’ where celebrated artists were remaking popular songs of past decades, the beer brand is helping old tracks be heard again and live a new life but with the same musicians.
