The Launch of Pause for a Blue Christmas by Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc

Christmas is just less than a week to go and it's the best time to be jolly! Earlier this month I was invited to attend the 'Pause for a Blue Christmas' campaign launch by Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc at Nicsmann 1940s by Lewré in Starling Mall.

The Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc, being one of my favorite beer is turning the year-end celebrations up a notch the French way with its ‘Pause for a Blue Christmas’ campaign, encouraging Malaysians to hit the pause button and enjoy every little yet precious moments this festive season.

“In July this year, we launched ‘Pause for Le Moment’, a memorable and successful campaign which allowed our consumers to appreciate all the little quality moments life has to offer just like the French do. This time around, for Christmas, we wanted to advocate the same message but in a festive manner to create an equally memorable brand experience that is highly own able and distinctive to Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc” Lehmann said. He adds, “Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc advocates making deliberate choices about what we want from life and how we want to spend our time spreading the Christmas cheer and relishing this festive season with our loved ones.”
