Why is this work relevant for Entertainment?
At Heineken, our aim is to connect people across the globe through shared passions. Where there are fans, there is Heineken.
That’s why we’re partners with F1, a global sport that gives us the opportunity to bring millions of fans around the world together, open up the world of F1 to them, and connect them through their shared love of racing.
This season, to help fans celebrate some normality in the return of racing, we combined our F1 partnership with another of our key entertainment areas that are a part of our sponsorships – music.
Background
Heineken’s two European title races were huge dates in the diary – the first F1 race in the Netherlands since 1985 at Zandvoort, and the iconic Formula 1 Heineken Gran Premio D’Italia in Monza.
Our brief and core objective remained constant and provided a red thread throughout the season: Deliver world-class experiences for fans that deliver brand love for Heineken, for fans both at home and at the track.

Describe the creative idea
To celebrate our two European title races, huge events in the racing calendar, we wanted to integrate Heineken into the celebratory moments of these race weekends.
And to create showstopping moments and unforgettable experiences for fans.
And what better races to do it at – the first Dutch Grand Prix since 1985 and the iconic Formula 1 Heineken Gran Premio D’Italia in Monza.
We decided to bring some of the biggest names in dance music to the F1 party. An F1 party to not just be enjoyed by fans at the track and in the city, but live streamed to racing and music fans worldwide.
And we needed a series of partners to ensure our spectacular performances reached the right people, at the right time.
Describe the strategy
Our strategy was split into two key sections – artist selection for each performance, and the selection of our streaming partner.
Both of these needed to produce performances that fitted within our wider sponsorship strategy; ensuring that they entertain, celebrate with, reward and thank fans in new and innovative ways, for fans both at the race and at home.
To decide who would headline each of our title race performances, we carefully selected globally renowned DJs who embody our company values, DJ Tiësto and Nina Kraviz
For this, we undertook market research, background checks and analysed relevant data including social demographics and follower age breakdowns, to ensure these were in line with our standards and committed to responsible consumption.
Our partnership with global streaming platform Beatport enabled our campaign to feature world class talent across our livestreams and content, aligning Heineken with the most respected DJs within their respective genres.
