KUALA LUMPUR, 18 JULY 2024 – Heineken®, as a responsible beer brand, is taking a strong stand against drink driving with its latest campaign under the “When You Drive, Never Drink” (WYDND) platform. Heineken® emphasizes that the best driver is the one who doesn’t drink, unless it is Heineken® 0.0. This crucial message was brought to life in a compelling brand film featuring Max Verstappen, the three-time Formula 1 World Champion and ambassador for the WYDND campaign.
In addition, Heineken® Malaysia introduces Player 0.0, a mobile and sim racing competition that forms a key part of the WYDND platform. Player 0.0 underscores Heineken®’s dedication to offering unique and memorable experiences while conveying the crucial message that “The Best Driver is the one who is not drinking.”
Player 0.0 is set to be an exciting competition as Heineken® embarks on the search for the nation’s first Malaysian Player 0.0. Participants can qualify for the title through both online and on-ground events, showcasing their safe driving skills to achieve high scores. The competition offers an opportunity for the Malaysian champion to sim race with other international Player 0.0s and meet three-time Formula 1 World Champion, Max Verstappen. Adding to the excitement, the second and third place winners will also be rewarded with tickets to the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix™!
