Cool beer hotline

  • Grolsch
  • The Netherlands

Beer connoisseurs will say that the amber nectar is meant to be consumed at room temperature. Pretty much everyone else in the entire world will say otherwise, including Grolsch. This Dutch beer brand believes that everyone, no matter when or where, should have a cool beer within reach. To make this possible, the brand launched the 'Cool Hotlines' and traversed across the Netherlands trading warm beers for cold Grolsch ones. After a call to the hotline, consumers could expect a visit from a small moped with a refrigerator sidecar that would deliver cold beer to wherever they were. All types of canned beers available in the Netherlands, excluding house and private brands, could be traded free of charge against a chilled can of Grolsch.

Diesel has come up with a away of giving shoppers that extra affirmation, without the need to drag your friends or partner around with you whenever you go shopping. The solution is Diesel Cam, an interactive installation in changing rooms in Diesel stores which allows shoppers to take photos of themselves trying on outfits and immediately edit and post them to Facebook to solicit advice about which looks work and which ones don’t.
