He explained the event sought to drive awareness of the annual Movember campaign and Movember Foundation charity.
"[We wanted to] encourage as many of the Carlsberg consumers, who are mainly men, to sign up and grow a moustache for Movember, and to also drive awareness of our new products, all of which the proceeds and profits will go to the Movember charity."
Carlsberg partners with The Movember Foundation across the globe, and Rana notes the companies share a number of similarities.
"They have a business very much like ourselves. The founding principles of what we are about as a brand is all about philanthropy – it’s all about giving back," he said.
While the future of the event is not yet known, Rana noted: "If it works here then there is no reason why it wouldn’t work elsewhere."
