Beck’s Shape Your Music Experience:
This year, Beck’s Shape Your Music Experience is giving away up to 25 million track downloads to consumers who get their hands on the Limited Edition Beck’s art label bottles and cans - all of which come with a unique code to download a song of choice from Play.com, absolutely free.
This activity forms part of a wider collaboration with Phoenix, who have specially created the design to feature on a limited number of Beck’s Pils art label bottles. In addition, to ensure this free music promotion reaches across the entire Beck’s range, emerging artists Inventory Studio and Valero Doval have also designed art labels for the Beck’s Blue bottles and Beck’s Vier cans, inspired by their favourite music.
Beck’s promotional art label packs can be found across all major retailers and consumers should keep an eye out for Beck’s Pils and Beck’s Blue art labels in pubs across the country.
Consumers can also design their own art label and win a VIP package to the Phoenix gig in Berlin by going to the Beck’s Facebook page- www.facebook.com/becksvier
