SHUTTER ADS
GRAND PRIX | Cannes Lions | Outdoor | 2021
The on-trade is one of Heineken’s biggest partners and during the pandemic is was struggling.
Bars need to be in business to survive.
What if bars’ closed shutters could actually help them open up again?
Turning closed shutters into a new media space to help bars cope during the crisis
already helped bars in Argentina, Spain, Italy, Germany
the project is ongoing, as Heineken will help out more bars around the world.

Heineken shifted the way they program their media buying, redirecting the existing media budget from outdoors around the world, to the shutters of the most famous and loved bars around the world. More than 5000 bars around the world benefited from 7.5 million euros directly paid to them, and even more bars are joining in every week. Shutter Ads brought in 40% more media value than the traditional OOH and 100% of bars in the initiative reopened.
