A Beer Ad Worth Watching: Heineken's Worlds Apart

in advertising •  8 years ago 

My uncle shared this on Facebook, and I really enjoyed it. It's surprisingly good and captures my current opinion on how important it is for people with different perspectives and opinions to hear each other out, open their minds, and engage respectfully with those they disagree with. It's what I've been trying to do with many of the great conversations we've had here on Steemit.

We don't need beer to do it, but it can help. I think whiskey can help also. And sometimes hot tubs. :)

I like how they got them working together and getting to know each other first. I think that's key.

What do you think? Clever ploy by a corporate machine to earn profits or important message that happens to also be an ad?

Sure, it could have been staged, but they claim there's no acting, just real people having real conversations. Either way, I like it.

I still prefer other beers though.

@Sean_Cronin_ Can confirm that there's no acting, they are real people having real conversations 😊

Ah come on luke, Heineken is delicious! :-)

It's not bad, but I've been becoming more of a beer snob lately, I guess. Sometimes I like dark, chewy, meal-in-a-glass beers like porters and stouts. Other times I'll go for a floral IPA without the bitterness. I enjoy a nice Kentucky Bourbon Ale once in a while as well. But yeah, as large commercial brews go, you can definitely do worse than Heineken.
