How far would you go for Heinz Tomato Ketchup?

We took Heinz Tomato Ketchup beyond the bottle and into people’s homes, turning people’s irrational love into an unexpected act of devotion.

The problem

Heinz Tomato Ketchup, the beloved sauce with a devout following, had a new brand purpose – Irrational Love. They wanted to communicate the love that people have for this iconic brand to their consumers as wallets were being squeezed during the cost-of-living crisis.

In times of financial instability, when consumers become more conservative with their spending, they tend to seize the opportunity to take bold risks with their interiors. Tomato Red was being cited as the trending colour in the home that year, providing an opportunity to encourage irrational love for Heinz Tomato Ketchup.

We took Heinz into a new desirable and timely space that would clearly demonstrate the nation’s irrational love for the sauce – a love that’s so intense that people look for ways to show their brand loyalty beyond the bottle. Heinz X LICK ‘RED HTK 57’ brought the sauce into consumers’ homes in a way that had never been seen before, bringing a whole lotta love for the brand nationally and internationally.
