Daniel Craig and Heineken Prove That Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

Heineken today reveals a new commercial concepted in collaboration with Daniel Craig called ‘Worth The Wait’, which celebrates the highly anticipated release of the new James Bond film No Time To Die. The advert shows Daniel Craig waiting patiently for the first satisfying sip of an ice-cold Heineken beer, an ode to fans who have eagerly awaited the next instalment of the franchise and showing that the best things come to those who wait.  

No Time To Die will be released internationally in cinemas from September 30th 2021 through Universal Pictures International and in the US on October 8th from Metro Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) via their United Artist Releasing banner. 

Bram Westenbrink, global head Heineken brand, said: “Heineken has been a proud partner of James Bond films since 1997. So, like all Bond fans, we also can’t wait for No Time To Die  to hit cinemas. That said, we believe some things really are worth waiting for. And now we can prove it. Whether it’s an ice-cold Heineken or an action-packed Blockbuster – the best things truly do come to those who wait.” 

Testing the truth behind the sentiment, Heineken carried out a real-world social experiment to prove that good things are indeed worth the wait. In the experiment, 115 people were given cold Heineken or Heineken 0.0 beer at intervals between 0-30 minutes, showing that people who waited 20 minutes had the highest levels of satisfaction.
