The campaign, which has the strapline ‘It has to be Heinz', aims to build an emotional connection between the Heinz brand and consumers.
The initial campaign will focus on five core products including Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Heinz Beanz, Heinz Salad Cream, Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup and Heinz Spaghetti Hoops.
Giles Jepson, sauces and soup marketing director at Heinz: said, ‘The Heinz brand is greatly cherished by the British people. It's hard to find someone who doesn't have significant personal connections with it.'
