E-Gaming is the most trending passion point for Gen-Z. Also, Harbin Beer is not only the most loved beer brand for Gen-Z, but also the only selected brand to sponsor LOL Professional League.
Thus, Harbin Beer presented an emotional flash-back campaign for graduates/gamers using their favorite E-games and languages.
