For nearly 4 years I was the Creative Director for Heineken’s global Digital and Social channels. The work consisted of content, commercials, brand activations etc. It led me to producing work in countries such as the USA, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Nigeria, Romania, Greece, Vietnam, Italy, Spain, Chile, South Africa, Hungary, and more.
I managed multiple teams on the account, nurtured the agency/client relationship and grew the business through trust over time. I learnt loads, and aged a little. Luckily not the other way around.
Heineken wanted to engage and entertain fans who were watching Champions League games at home by themselves. To prove that watching Champions League and drinking Heineken goes hand in hand.

Heineken wanted to teach fans how to prepare for watching Champions League games, no matter what happens to be in your way. Using some legends of the game, we created stories of players who needed to overcome different obstacles in order to watch the game.
Each week we published another realtime story consisting of roughly 5 films plus photography, followed by a live twitter Q&A during the game. Stories were created around local market insights and pushed globally. Each week all content was filmed and published in 48 hours.

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE CONTENT PIECES THAT WERE PUBLISHED AROUND EACH GAME

For example, in the U.S. watching Champions League matches can be tricky when you’re stuck at work. We set out to solve that.

We continued Champion The Match into 2016. For the next instalment Heineken wanted to say “It’s Time!”. No matter where you are or what you’re doing, It’s time to Champion the Match with Heineken. And our football heroes were there to lend a helping hand to get fans prepared to watch the game.
As in 2015 all content was created around a live twitter Q&A event. That gave us just 48 hours to film and publish the online films so they could be viewed in time with fans preparations for the match. Films were created for global use off the back of local market insights.
ROLE: CREATIVE/CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Heineken had just launched with it’s new global positioning “Open Your World”. Our job was to bring this to life online and give it depth through digital & social content. We did this by creating a series of editorial and scripted social formats ready to use for local market adaptation.
Within 6 months we created: 13 Documentaries, 20+ Photo editorials, 3 Online films, 200 Social media posts, 20+ Infographics and a twitter activation.

Heineken's home draught system The SUB is designed to give you quality time to yourself with a cold refreshing beer.
We created an interactive online commercial in which the viewer can click to give the protagonist a quality break from his own commercial at any point during the film. The campaign currently runs across Europe and Asia.

Arnotts Shapes are one of Australia’s favourite snacks amongst teenagers. They're well known for having such awesome flavour that people literally lick the flavour off the biscuit.
When Shapes came out with a new range of flavours there was only one way to demonstrate the perfect way to enjoy them.

A Picnic Bar is one hell of a mouth full, this campaign dared people to prove this theory otherwise. People were driven to a website where they were set a challenge to eat a picnic in the space of a tv ad that they create and upload. Selected videos were then used for actual ads for the campaign.
