In Heineken Light’s kickoff commercial for its new “Occasionally Perfect” campaign (and Wieden+Kennedy New York’s first spot for the beer maker), we are told that, like a snakeskin jacket, Heineken Light doesn’t always fit its surroundings.

He elicits withering stares from onlookers that underscore the narrator’s assertion that the admittedly bold jacket is “not right for every occasion.”
