About the Work
The creative idea was to use satire to remind people that closing down is easier than you think. So we created The Closer: a Bluetooth powered bottle opener that automatically closes your work when you open a beer with it. It’s a real device that was distributed in 48 countries.
The Closer became a way for Heineken to talk about work-life balance and remind people to #WorkResponsibly. The goal was not to make people believe that The Closer is the solution to overwork, but as a social provocation to help people see that the pressure to work all the time is getting a little ridiculous and we all have the power to log off and go hang out with our friends again.
