150 Years of Whateverken

Creative idea

To celebrate Heineken 150th anniversary, Heineken stopped being Heineken for a full year by changing its brand into all the misspells, mispronunciations and misuses coming from people all over the world, so that everyone could enjoy a Heineken in their own way. In other words: 150 years of good times. One way or another.
