Heineken‘s sponsorship with Formula 1 racing in 2023 is a significant move for the beer brand, which has been expanding its presence in the sports world in recent years. With this partnership, Heineken aims to further establish itself as a global brand and connect with a wide audience of racing fans. Not only does the sponsorship include a large presence at F1 events worldwide, but it also involves a variety of fun events off the track.
To celebrate the sponsorship along with the launch of Heineken Silver, the beer brand hosted a brand promotion at Marquee New York. Amplified Marketing helped bring Heineken’s vision for the “off track” event to life with our VR Racing Chairs. Featuring VR headsets and realistic steering controls, attendees felt their adrenaline pumping as they raced in 360 virtual reality. Spectators became part of the ride as they watched the race via an external monitor. A custom leaderboard enhanced the experience and added a competitive edge to the game.
