It’s nearly impossible to create a better beer formula, but creative minds can offer new approaches to take the beer drinking process to the next level. As part of its Ideas Brewery project, HEINEKEN is challenging innovators from all around the globe to think and offer some new draught beer experiences. It is the second Open Innovation Challenge within the project (in April, when the Ideas Brewery was founded, the company called beer fans to create the innovative packaging for beer), and the beer maker wants contestants to use all their talent and technological solutions from other fields, the entertainment and gaming industries to name a few, to develop a truly stunning experience.

Levi Strauss kicks off a new stage of its ‘Go forth’ campaign by Wieden & Kennedy that was first launched in 2009. In 2011, the company used ‘Now is our Time’ message to encourage youth; this year, it is adding a new, more product-related slogan: ‘This is a pair of Levi’s.’ The new slogan will appear in ads not only for Levi’s jeans but also for dresses, shirts and nondenim items.
