Let’s be honest: during lockdown, seeing a pub with its shutters down was almost as sad as an empty fridge. But where many saw a problem, LePub and Publicis Italy saw a film set. A rather large one, at that.

The idea behind Starring Bars is as simple as it is brilliant: instead of spending the budget on purpose-built sets, Heineken decided to use real bars facing closure as the stage for their spots, providing them with the funds they needed to survive.

Cannes juries included (the project took home a Silver and two Bronze Lions on the Croisette, just saying).

And us at Disc To Disc? We made sure it all sounded spot on. We handled the audio post-production, sound design, and mix, A technical job for a project with a big heart. Cheers!!!
