Experiential & Event Marketing Market: Heineken Rewards Serena Williams Superfans With US Open Trip

Zusammenfassung des Signals

Heineken has launched “Second Serve Tickets,” a campaign that asks Serena Williams fans to submit photos of ticket stubs from her past matches plus a personal anecdote for a chance to attend the 2026 U.S. Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Williams, who serves as global ambassador for Heineken’s non-alcoholic beer (Heineken 0.0), fronts the campaign. A new ad from Heineken’s creative agency LePub NY mixes archival footage and animation; winners receive access to an exclusive Heineken Suite at the tournament. Heineken will also release limited-edition Heineken 0.0 cans featuring artwork inspired by ticket designs from Williams’ six U.S. Open victories. The campaign is positioned as part of Heineken’s broader “Fans Have More Friends” initiative emphasizing real-life social connection.
