The Gaming Fridge

Creative idea

Opportunity: if games are like bars for gen z, overheating is a huge barrier of socialization. Tapping into this serious overheating issue, Heineken created its own CPU. THE GAMING FRIDGE, an ultimate customized gaming PC that is also a Heineken fridge. A high-performance hardware, cool design, cool beers, no overheating and a lot of socializing. It was about getting into the gaming community in a genuine way that would build desire around the brand.
