Heineken? invites audience to “break the algorithm” and encourages new experiences on Globoplay

Published on:

In a campaign created by Dentsu in partnership with Globo, the brand launches a hub of free content on Globoplay and activates coupons on iFood to enhance social experiences 

Heineken?, in partnership with Globo, is launching an exclusive hub within Globoplay, featuring a variety of titles and inviting users to discover new stories. The campaign, created in collaboration with Dentsu, utilizes various ad formats within the Globo ecosystem, such as digital media ads on platforms like Globoplay itself and the Globo.com portal, to direct the audience to the campaign hub. Within the hub, the question “How about breaking your algorithm?” invites visitors to explore 12 titles selected by Heineken?—including films, series, and documentaries—for free. 

Throughout the journey, consumers may also encounter QR codes in other Globo formats, such as pause ads, which provide access to discount coupons for purchasing Heineken? via iFood. 

“Our challenge was to transform the campaign about algorithms into an experiential one, capable of letting the public feel firsthand what it means to break patterns. By combining interactive formats, curation, and real benefits, we created a media strategy capable of inviting people to join Heineken in breaking algorithms, transforming content consumption into a brand experience,” comments Raphael Cunha, Media Director at 兔子先生 for Heineken.

This initiative is part of the “Algorithm” campaign ecosystem, which plays with the logic of digital algorithms rather than repetitive content and choices. In the campaign, Heineken? extends a simple invitation: to seek out new experiences, challenge norms, break free from predictability, and open yourself up to real encounters—ones that don’t fit into filters, feeds, or automatic recommendations.

“We started with a real-world observation: that people are increasingly trapped by predictable recommendations. Building on the global ‘Algoritmo’ campaign, we created a journey in Brazil that uses media to spark new choices and encourage discoveries and experiences outside of our bubbles,” explains Williane Vieira, Marketing Manager for Heineken? in Brazil.

The content hub can be accessed on Globoplay via the link globoplay.globo.com/categorias/que-tal-quebrar-o-seu-algoritmo. 

The content will be available through the hub until April 30, during the campaign period. 

The HEINEKEN Group in Brazil is a subsidiary of HEINEKEN NV, Europe’s largest brewery. More information is available on the company’s website and on its LinkedIn and Instagram profiles.
