Outdoor advertising doesn’t need to be flat and functional—it can be interactive and fun, as this new stunt by Publicis for Heineken 0.0 in Brazil demonstrates.
The agency created a clever 3D, interactive billboard on a Rio de Janeiro road that doubled as a bar, complete with bar staff.
The pop-up outdoor bar, which was open for three days, invited drivers to pull up and grab a free Heineken 0.0, the brand’s zero-alcohol lager.
The billboard’s height was positioned so that drivers, who had to be aged 18 and over, could pull up and unwind their car windows to grab a freebie—ensuring social distancing, as there was no physical contact between participants, the agency said.
Drivers were targeted to reinforce the message that anyone can drink zero alcohol beer any time of the day, even while driving, said Vanessa Brandão, director of the Heineken Group’s premium brands in Brazil.
“The Outdoor Bar is another novelty in the communication plan for Heineken 0.0, which literally shows one of its possible consumption occasions,” she said.
Domenico Massareto, chief creative officer at Publicis Brazil, added: “Out of home represents a possibility for brands to inspire people with a public message—in this case, a light, good-natured and very engaging message that explains the new product in the context of life.”
