Specific Target Audience
Heineken created The Gaming Fridge, an innovative product that combines a high-performance gaming PC with a beer fridge, addressing a common gamer frustration: overheating, both for PCs and drinks. The campaign aimed to connect the brand with Gen Z, who are more into gaming than traditional bar culture.
The activation began with controlled leaks on Reddit, sparking curiosity and engagement within the gaming community. To amplify its impact, the limited-edition fridges were sent to gaming influencers worldwide, including Twitch superstar Gaulês, who showcased it during a live stream.
In Brazil, the fridge became the MVP trophy at the League of Legends Finals, solidifying its status as an aspirational icon. By combining innovation, exclusivity, and authenticity, the campaign generated desire, sparked conversation, and proved that beer and gaming can coexist in a unique and meaningful way.
