HOW HEINZ PROVED THAT EVERY FRY BOX LOOKS LIKE THE HEINZ LOGO.
CONTEXT GLOBAL IMPRESSIONS
Everyone knows fries and ketchup belong ="
together. And for decades, that ketchup has always _ +
i e
been Heinz. But recently, as the cost of ketchup we
up, Heinz’s market share started to go down, dint e =
its dominance over fries, one of the most ordered © be
menu items in the world, at risk. We needed'to shift
the consumer's mindset from, “fries belong with
ketchup” to, “fries belong with Heinz.» .

“A SIMPLE TRUTH”
TAXI
IDEA ma Pa.
So, we found a truth that’s been hiding plain sight ,
this whole time: french fry boxes are shaped like v
the Heinz logo. To bring this insight to life, we went
all around the world to find every last fry box, i
and turned them into a global print and outdoor
campaign. With one simple visual, the idea
resonated across languages, cultures and markets -
always proving that if it's fries, it has to be Heinz.
