A trio of ads, created by Publicis Italy, feature people drinking the beer in scenarios where you wouldn’t expect to find alcohol. After being met by disapproving looks, each protagonist points knowingly to the label on the bottle – before it is revealed their audience is actually watching as they embarrass themselves in a way unrelated to their choice of beverage.
The first ad, "Now you can: parking" debuted during England's semi-final against Croatia and will run on all major commercial channels. Two further spots, "Now you can: locker room" and "Now you can: presentation", will be shown on video-on-demand platforms.
They were created by Bruno Bertelli, Cristiana Boccassini, Marco Venturelli and Luca Cinquepalmi, and directed by The Bobbsey Twins from Homicide through Blink. The media agency is Starcom.
Heineken 0.0 is one a number of alcohol-free beer brands to have upped its marketing efforts this year. According to Nielsen data, it is the UK’s fastest growing alcohol-free beer brand.
Nic Casby, Heineken UK brand director, said the intention of the campaign was to "build positive associations" around drinking choices and make alcohol-free beer "cool".
"As pioneering brewers, we are committed to promoting our innovative products and campaigns to meet consumer needs," he said.
"We’ve seen phenomenal growth in the low– and no-alcohol category and the "Now you can" campaign allows us to communicate all the different drinking occasions where Heineken 0.0 can be enjoyed."
