Heineken

In the mid-2000s, digital engagement relied heavily on Adobe Flash to create immersive, motion-rich experiences. At Publicis Modem, I worked to execute the interaction design and visuals for two distinct brand pillars: product innovation (The DraughtKeg) and cultural resonance (Red Star Soul).

The DraughtKeg (Technical Innovation)

We positioned the DraughtKeg at the intersection of tradition and futuristic convenience. The goal was to demystify the new "mini-keg" format while maintaining premium appeal.‍

  • The Concept:
    "HDK101" — We treated the beer vessel like a high-tech gadget.
  • Visual Strategy:
    We utilized a "techno-utilitarian" aesthetic with digital grids and sleek typography. The interactive components turned the complex "Chill, Click, Draught" instructions into an engaging user journey, proving that convenience didn't mean compromising on quality.

Red Star Soul (Cultural Authenticity)

This campaign required a shift from corporate advertiser to cultural patron. The objective was "Music. Recognition. Respect." — celebrating the legacy of R&B and Soul rather than just sponsoring it.

  • ‍The Concept:
    Honoring the genre's legends (Erykah Badu, Common, Raphael Saadiq) through art.
  • Visual Strategy:
    We designed lush, vector-based landscapes that integrated the iconic green bottle with organic, soulful textures. This authentic design language resonated with the community, positioning Heineken as a genuine supporter of musical history.
