Here’s a tip: Don’t tie your product to an unpleasant outcome.
If you’re selling feature is that it’s pretty quiet for a chainsaw, maybe you should show how your neighbours will be happy or something. But this ad might as well run the tagline:
This is a pretty ballsy ad. I’ve already seen some people criticize this ad for putting out the message: drink water, not Heineken. But this is shortsighted.
I love it when companies know who they are. Heineken doesn’t need to appeal to binge drinkers. This is positioning at it’s best.
