Summary of the work
Heinz Ketchup is known the world over for its glass bottle, iconic red, keystone label and superior quality and unmatched taste. So, when we needed to reignite the love for our iconic sauce, we didn’t try and imbue new meaning, we turned to the truth. We created a series of work over 5 years, each one speaking directly to an ownable truth for Heinz. We didn't rely on having to say we're superior ourselves, we got the world to tell that story for us
Pour Perfectly
We started with Pour Perfectly, solving a 150 year old mystery by showing consumers the perfect angle to get Heinz out of the bottle by turning the label on our bottle 31 degrees. Driving consumer engagement online and at shelf to give people a reason to engage with Heinz again.
Heinz Ketchup Puzzle
When the world shut down due to COVID-19, we gave consumers something to do. A 570 piece puzzle all in Heinz iconic red. Playing with a cultural moment when most brands took a somber route, we created something worth talking about.
Draw Ketchup
As the original ketchup brand, when you think of ketchup you think of Heinz. Something no other brand can claim. So, we tapped into this truth with a social experiment where we asked participants to draw ketchup and they drew Heinz. This allowed us to tell everyone that no other ketchup compares without us having to say it ourselves.
AI Ketchup
When AI services like Dall-E AI first started trending, we tapped into the cultural conversation and again asked AI to draw ketchup and it drew Heinz. Becoming the first brand to utilize AI in this way.
Hot Dog Pact
Consumers have been upset over uneven hot dog and bun packages for decades. So, we decided to put an end to it. Rallying the nation to sign a petition to end the discrepancy, and we won. Wonder Bread created even packaging.
Heinz Fraud
Restaurants fill Heinz bottles with inferior ketchup and consumers notice. So, we tapped into the conversation to get consumers to be our advocates. Creating a fresh and first of its kind business-to-business campaign.
Vintage Drip
Merch drops are everywhere. Instead of creating more clothing that contributes to landfills, we targeted Gen-z by partnering with online second hand retailers to sell high end fashion that was stained with Heinz. Proving Heinz isn’t a stain, it’s a statement.
Heinz Super Bowl LVII
Super Bowl 57 happened in 2023. 57 is the Heinz number. So, we hacked the super bowl by playing with a cultural conversation around Roman numerals, something no one understands. We simply showed that LVII = 57.
