This holiday season, HEINEKEN USA, White Plains, N.Y., is helping people celebrate the holidays in creative ways this year through its partnership with Tastemade and Pinterest. Tastemade will create six Holiday Hacks in a video for Pinterest that will showcase the new takes on the three select beer brands through clever ideas and tricks, the company says.
The unique partnership will expand Heineken’s audience, while inspiring people to celebrate the holidays in new ways, it adds.
“The holidays are going to look very different this year, but beer is still about bringing people together, no matter which Heineken brand they choose,” said Alison Payne, vice president of marketing for Heineken’s Mexican beer portfolio, in a statement. “Pinterest’s leaned-in audience is actively engaged in finding moments of festivity and joy this season, and those insights are powering Tastemade’s premium Holiday Hacks content. Through this, we hope people can celebrate holidays safely and maybe even reimagine an empty beer bottle into holiday cheers.”
This is Heineken’s first cross-portfolio campaign, inspiring people across many Heineken brands to recreate the joy of the holidays, in person or with people afar/virtually. Whether it’s Dos Equis, Tecate, or Heineken, there’s a brew for everyone, and anyone can upcycle an empty bottle to turn into holiday cheer, the company says. The partnership is designed to drive consumer engagement and store traffic. With shoppers seeking Heineken brands for holiday celebrations and new usage occasions, retailers can benefit from an incremental sales opportunity.
Through simple hacks, Heineken is inspiring viewers to celebrate the holidays at home in ways that are sustainable, safe and relevant. Tapping into Pinterest trends and insights, Tastemade has created thumb-stopping clever tricks with Heineken’s portfolio of products, taking at-home celebrating to the next level, according to the company. From bottle floral arrangements to bottle cap ornaments, bottle lanterns to decorative dips, consumers can try these hacks at home or to build a gift basket for the loved ones that they can’t be with this year.
“We’re excited to continue in our strategic partnership with Pinterest to leverage their proprietary insights, and user experience to build impactful, brand-focused partnerships,” said Jeff Imberman, head of sales and brand partnerships at Tastemade. “This video campaign is designed to be actionable and speaks to Tastemade’s focus on delivering inspirational, yet attainable content to consumers. We know that our audience is looking to tap into things that are already available at home, and we’re thrilled to be working with iconic brands across the Heineken portfolio, which offer a product for everyone to celebrate this holiday season.”
