Notes: Zlatý Bažant is the most popular beer of the Heineken company in Slovakia. Especially its retro edition beer brewed according to the original recipe from 1973. Our task was to prepare the communication, while the brief said clearly: make an advertisement that fits the beer from 1973, but avoid socialism and negative connotations for the people of Eastern Europe.

What was typical entertainment of the 70's in Eastern Europe? Local remakes of world hits from behind the Iron Curtain! We used this insight to build our communication and created a remake like from 1973.

During the creative process we used all the typical means of TV entertainment of the 70's: styling, costumes, 4:3 format, old cameras, special effects, zoom, cuts on bored cameramen and rigid viewers, the accompanying band…

The hit from 1973 became a huge hit on the internet and a top video on Slovak youtube, for which it also won the Grand Prix at the Youtube Works Awards.
