The challenge

Historic Irish pubs needed support to survive and stand out.

The idea

Working with publicans, Heineken catalogued each pub's collection of objects and attached stories to them, viewable through mobile and augmented reality. The pubs became cultural destinations, with Le Pub and Thinkhouse joining Publicis Dublin on the work.

Results

  • Won eight Cannes Lions, a record for a single Irish campaign
