Creative Execution

We created a unique algorithm that listens to social media activity, such as tweets, check-ins and photos across Twitter, Instagram and Foursquare and analyses where’s trending, matching it to user’s locations. This allows the service to automatically give users recommendations that show where’s hot right now, to help them decide where next to go in real-time. Users are just one tweet away from finding out where to go next on a night out. It works in multiple languages and is available globally. For those of you who don’t tweet, we also provided real-time heat map on a mobile responsive website.

@wherenext has not long launched therefore available results are limited. • Worldwide press coverage and acclaim – from GQ Magazine to the Huff Post and AdWeek • Over 14,000 visits to the service since launch • @wherenext has received 13,060 mentions on social media since launch with an 80% positive sentiment • Shifted the Heineken brand from beverage sector into the tech and social innovation space

Heineken asked us for a digital version of their ‘Open Your City’ campaign. Rather than just providing them with the digital matching luggage for this campaign, we gave Heineken a true game changer. We created an ‘always on’ service (not a one off campaign) that seamlessly integrated with Twitter and with our ‘men of the world’s’ nights out. There’s always that moment on a night out in a big city when someone asks the question ‘Where next?’ Well now, Heineken has the answer. Never again will people miss out on a great experience just around the corner. A tweet to solve users ‘fear of missing out’ (FOMO) on nights out in cities the world over.
