Solution

To bring this vision to life, Heineken partnered with Honest Marketing and MotionAds to launch a high-energy, engagement-driven campaign. MotionAds deployed a fleet of eye-catching Heineken Silver-branded bikes through Sandton City, featuring vibrant creative designs and interactive QR codes. These QR codes provided consumers with instant access to Heineken’s competition page, encouraging immediate participation.

To further amplify engagement, the campaign incorporated a multi-channel approach, leveraging top radio stations to run spot-the-bike competitions. This interactive element encouraged consumers to actively seek out the branded bikes, fostering excitement and deepening their connection with the brand. The integration of on-the-ground activations with digital touchpoints ensured a seamless consumer journey, from street-level engagement to online interaction.

As this was our first campaign for an alcoholic beverage, we ensured that all artwork adhered to ARA compliance regulations while maintaining a high-impact, engaging brand presence throughout Joburg.
