Tiger Beer, Malaysia’s No. 1 beer 1, is known for organizing grand
launch events to auspiciously kick-start the Chinese New Year (CNY) period. Determined not to break the tradition this year, Tiger brought an ‘ONGsome’ launch to media and trade partners in the comfort of their own homes and offices – with an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) twist.
The Tiger ONG Box contained everything guests would experience at one of Tiger’s legendary CNY launches - auspicious greetings, delectable Chinese New Year snacks, exciting games, and exclusive goodies, and of course plenty of Tiger Beer! Recipients began the unboxing with a unique Augmented Reality (AR) experience as they watched Roland Bala, Managing Director of Heineken Malaysia Berhad (HEINEKEN Malaysia) appear on the virtual stage to greet them.
Next came the key feature of Tiger’s CNY campaign, “Bring on the ONG” – limited-edition Tiger Beer and Tiger Crystal festive cans. For the very first time, Tiger has introduced limited edition festive can designs in Malaysia, with a meaningful message to make the CNY celebration merrier. The collectible cans in suspicious colors of red and gold are available in two sets of Tiger Beer and Tiger Crystal packaging. When combined, the characters on the cans will give the greeting ‘Wang Shi Ru Yi’ which means ‘Be Prosperous As You Wish’, encouraging consumers to look ahead to the coming year with more optimism
and hope for more luck.
While the limited edition designs look great in their own right, they really come to life when scanned with a smartphone. Doing so on the ‘Wang’ and ‘Ru’ cans will reveal an exclusive AR experience with auspicious greetings to invite more ONG. And if that wasn’t enough, it also unlocks a free spin on the Tiger ‘ONG’ Wheel – with great prizes up for grabs!
Consumers too will be able to get hold of these limited-edition cans when they purchase one carton of Tiger Beer and one carton of Tiger Crystal at participating off-trade outlets. There are two sets to collect, with two designs in each set. The limited-edition cans are available from 16th January until 10th February 2021 at participating outlets across Malaysia, while stocks last. Consumers can check out https://tigercny.my/ for more information and to experience the AR animation themselves.
As recipients of the Tiger ONG Box continued unboxing the final layer, they came across a selection of Chinese New Year snacks with auspicious meanings to bring in more ‘ONG’ in the year to come. Sweet pineapple tarts, succulent ‘bakwa’, peanuts and pistachios were carefully selected so the Year of the Ox will be filled with prosperity, good luck, longevity and joy.
From now until 28 th February 2021, consumers who purchase big bottles of Tiger Beer, Tiger Crystal, Heineken® or Guinness at participating restaurants, food courts or coffee shops, can check underneath their bottle caps for the ‘ONG’ characters representing different prizes to be won including ‘ONGsome’ cash Ang Pows and Tiger Ong Lai Bowl Sets!
In addition to the Tiger CNY goodies, Guinness Gold Playing Cards are also up for grabs with every purchase of Guinness products worth RM200 at participating hypermarkets and supermarkets. Meanwhile, Heineken® fans can get an exclusive Heineken® Cooler Box with RM250 spent on Heineken® or Heineken® 0.0.
