Heineken | CEO Farewell film

Challenge:

Leaving Heineken as a successful CEO, you would expect an excellent party, but then COVID-19 hits and all you get is a leaving video. Make it work.

Director | Jasper Claus

A heartwarming film about a CEO’s departure, filmed in an empty office, according to very stringent health & safety protocols during the first covid-19 lockdown.

In the spirit of one of our first hit films, the leaving video for former AkzoNobel CEO Hans Wijers, we made a film of Jean-Francois’ last day. Not a mockumentary this time, but a bittersweet film of Jean-Francois reflecting on his career by writing a letter to all employees. The film was an organic worldwide viral hit, with views on social media and wordwide spread via employees via whatsapp.
