At the start of the promotion, the brand gradually and regularly increased its reach and the number of real users (from almost 50 thousand on the first day of the promotion to over 4.5 million on June 11).

In the case of the Heineken brand, both the number of real users reached by the ads and the reach building are very similar to the previously studied period. The visible difference is noticeable in the case of the Heineken 0.0 brand. In the period May 11 - June 11, the brand was advertised exclusively through digital media, reaching less than 5 million real users and generating approx. 8 million contacts with advertising.

When analyzing the data on the number of real users, an interesting situation is noticeable. During analyse of the data for the earlier period, it can be noticed that the Heineken 0.0 brand began to be advertised on May 25. In the chart presenting the data for the period from June 11 to July 11, we notice that this brand has several times recorded a greater number of users who received the advertising message than the "mother" brand - Heineken. This situation took place several times (from June 21 to July 10). The biggest disproportion is noticeable on July 7. At that time, Heineken 0.0 recorded the number of real users at the level of almost 10 million, while Heineken only 700 thousand. Four days later (on the day of the Euro 2020 finals) we notice the opposite. It was Heineken who took the lead (almost 10 million real users; jump from 200,000 on 10.07). Heineken 0.0 recorded 2.7 million on the same day.
