Heineken Legendary Posters
The global beer brand Heineken partnered with over 40 ‘legendary’ individuals from the worlds of sport, entertainment and art to create a series of posters in support of global non-profit, Reporters Without Borders.
‘The Legendary Posters’ campaign is part of the Heineken Legends brand platform, and stems from Heineken’s “strong belief that crossing borders enables people to get the most out of life.” To represent the importance of crossing borders, blank white canvases were sent around the world to meet extraordinary people and tell, visually, the story of their journey. From the poster that played fireball with tennis legend Jimmy Connors to the one that went into a live volcano, each poster is a one-of-a-kind artwork, bearing the physical marks of its epic adventure and the creative signature of the collaborator who customized it. The posters were exhibited in a number of Amsterdam locations in April. They were also displayed on a custom Tumblr site, along with a selection of short films documenting the creation of the series. The posters were put up for auction on EBay with all proceedings going to Reporters Without Borders, a global non-profit organization that protects journalists and ensures freedom of information worldwide.
