We launched Heineken’s new positioning “For a fresher world” with a campaign bringing a fresh perspective to work-life balance. As more and more people, especially Gen Z, are facing overwork and burnout, we wanted to remind everyone that logging off can be easier than they think. So we created The Closer: a bottle opener that automatically closes your work when you open a beer. The device that we designed, manufactured, and shared with the world doesn’t just help people #WorkResponsibly, but helps the world be just a little fresher.
