The Year of the Tiger – The Year We ROAR Together with Tiger Beer

The year 2022 is remarkably special for Tiger Beer given the once every 12 years occurrence of the Year of the Tiger. To uncage the festive cheer for fans around the world, Tiger Beer has partnered with Son Heung-Min, a football icon from South Korea, in conjunction with the Lunar New Year celebrations to ignite a global movement and encourage fans to set aside their fears and achieve their boldest ambitions in 2022.
By dreaming big and never giving up, Son overcame challenges by uncaging his inner Tiger with his courage and determination to become a football star. Now, Son is declaring that for The Year of the Tiger, he is inspired to go after his boldest ambition yet – to win a major trophy for his country. Son, the official Tiger Brand Ambassador, has shared a series of emojis on his Instagram expressing his targets for the year and has incited fans to share their own bold goals too. All fans have to do is respond to the “My Year, My Goals” Instagram “Add Yours” story sticker feature, created by Tiger Beer with their own ambitions for the Year of the Tiger.

While fans across the world rally with Son to express their own ambitions and inspirations for the Year of the Tiger, Tiger Beer Malaysia too launched its local Chinese New Year (CNY) campaign - The Year We ROAR Together - on a grand scale, today. Aimed to encourage fans to go all out to pursue their dreams and goals, the CNY campaign is all about giving a voice to Malaysians to uncage their inner tigers - whether they're born in the Year of the Tiger or not.
