We had one day to build our Heineken-branded set in a hotel room in Los Angeles during MLS Media Day.
Our approach: we built an abstracted “bar” setup where we chatted with 20+ top league stars, and discovered how they spend their time off-the-pitch. From a hole-in-the-wall Honduran restaurant in San Jose to the trendy brick-paved streets of the Meatpacking District in NYC, we went the extra mile to capture shots of each city with local shooters who know the streets better than anyone else.
