A new TVC – with an unexpected twist – will be released globally in the autumn, and will be supported by a series of special edition, collectible Bond-themed bottles & can s (available in Indian retail stores), each offering fans a chance to open 007’s world.
In the initial part of the campaign, Heineken® will give Bond fans access to a classic collection of Bond films. ‘Goldfinger’ and ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’. The gold & blue themed limited edition packs will gift fans a Bond movie download.
From September, special edition Spectre bottles & cans will give consumers extraordinary access to the world of James Bond through never-before-seen official Spectre content. Using their mobile phone, consumers simply scan the logo on each pack to unlock exclusive behind the scenes footage.
