Rooftop Revival

AI Overview

Heineken claimed 166km² of Seoul's overlooked green rooftops as a new social layer by pairing aerial photography with curated events and a scalable Pyeong Sang giveaway. The campaign turned hidden urban architecture into lived experience, generating 452 million impressions and 10,000+ rooftop activations.

Strategic insight

Seoul's rooftops weren't missing—they were invisible. By reframing green infrastructure as social space already embedded in Korean pop culture, Heineken didn't compete for existing venues; it created an entirely new market above street level.

Craft Notes

Medium-format camera on custom heavy-lift drone captured Seoul's rooftops at previously unseen angles and resolution. Lighting, composition, and altitude were fine-tuned aerially to compress streets and elevate the red star parasol against green, making Heineken instantly readable at billboard scale across fast-moving environments.

Earned Reach

Aerial photography generated 452 million impressions across 118 countries on out-of-home placements in Gangnam, Hongdae, and Jongno. The designed perspective became the most shared visual asset, proving the campaign's power to shift perception at global scale beyond paid media.
