MEET THE KETCHUPS

KRAFT HEINZ / SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGN

SUMMARY

Heinz launched a full-scale integrated marketing campaign to "introduce" consumers to its new family of flavored ketchups ("Meet the Ketchups"), featuring a :30 second TV ad spot aired during the Super Bowl.

​

The spot shows an adorable group of wiener dogs (dressed as hot dogs) running across a field to reach a family of ketchup, mustard and BBQ sauce while Harry Nilsson’s “Without You” plays in the background.

 

To accompany this campaign, a full-scale social media engagement strategy was executed where the brand responded and engaged with consumers during the big game in real-time.
