Ahead of the release of No Time To Die, we wanted to bring a twist to the iconic character and show how Bond lives beyond the film - as we believe, once James Bond, always James Bond. In addition, as we do with our other partnerships such as UEFA Champions League and Formula One, we have developed a dedicated Heineken 0.0% element to the campaign. This part of the campaign, as well as outlining the consumer choice available in our portfolio, has already created significant media debate." Watch the Heineken 0.0% content here.
