The partnership between one of the world’s leading musical events, Exit Festival, and one of the world’s most widely distributed beers, HEINEKEN was established last night in Belgrade. As part of the opening ceremony of the “Beer Planet” event, organized by the HEINEKEN Company, the business partnership was announced until the end of 2018, and with it, Heineken® became the official beer of EXIT festival!
Dušan Kovačević, CEO of Exit festival, used this opportunity to state the following: “Until now, Exit has welcomed countless superstars in the world. We are delighted that this year we found our beer star in a family company which, besides making the best beer in the world, has always had immense social responsibility as well. That same wave length was exactly what caused us to recognize HEINEKEN as a partner with whom we can realize important projects in that particular field.”
“Our company, and the best and most visited European music festival join forces – HEINEKEN and EXIT will be cooperating during following three years. We are pleased to be partnering up with the best, because Exit is the best, winning multiple awards as the best European, and world festival. We cannot hide the excitement, or pride we enjoy due to this partnership, because the best always go with the best”, said Dragana Savić, Marketing Director of the HEINEKEN company.
