No matter how much shopping has changed, the powerful and critical role inspiration plays in helping shoppers decide what to buy has not. This Holiday season, Heineken is helping people celebrate the holidays in creative ways this year, in partnership with Tastemade and Pinterest. Modern media company, 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 unique partnership will significantly expand Heineken’s audience, while inspiring people to celebrate the holidays in new ways.
Heineken Partners with Tastemade & Pinterest for Creative Holiday
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 partnership is sure 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. 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.
Here’s a preview of the experience on Pinterest:
Holidays at home have taken on new meaning this year, as people spend more time in their spaces than ever and look for new ways to decorate and celebrate safely. Holiday searches jumped 77% in April 2020 vs. April 2019. That trend included a 3x increase in searches for “Christmas gift ideas”— 8 months before December.
Quote from Alison Payne, Vice President Marketing for Heineken’s Mexican Beer Portfolio:
“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. 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.”

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.”
