Anheuser-Busch InBev's Harbin, the official beer for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa in China, and has launched a digital campaign across major Chinese portals.

Digital agency wwwins Consulting Shanghai has developed digital ad placements on Sohu, Sina, MSN, Tudou, Youku and Kaixin among others. All creative executions aim to bring out the patriotic spirit and love for soccer from the Chinese audience.

The Harbin China website also announces a competition in which fans will stand a chance to meet footballing legend Ruud Gullit, the ambassador for Harbin’s 2010 FIFA World Cup campaign. “I love soccer and beer. It is the perfect combination and part of my life. When I played soccer, I always toasted the coolest beer with my team to celebrate our victory,” said Gullit.
