Hendrix Rose PR’s Post

I stumbled upon the most brilliant marketing move recently – Heinz's "Pass the Heinz" campaign, inspired by a fictional Don Draper ad pitch from Mad Men (TV Show). This got me thinking... sometimes, the most audacious ideas are the ones that break all the rules. The Case Study: -The Fictional Pitch: In Mad Men's 1960s ad world, Don Draper proposes a Heinz ketchup ad with no product visuals – just food and the tagline "Pass the Heinz." It's rejected in the show as too risky. -2017 Reality: Heinz brings this to life! Simple posters feature fries, burgers, steak... missing only the iconic ketchup. The implied message that Heinz is so synonymous with ketchup, that the visuals are unnecessary. -Bold or Arrogant? Some called it bold, others criticized its "old-school" approach. But it undeniably stood out in a sea of sameness. Heinz's decision to run with an ad that featured no product image, no brand colors, just the tagline "Pass the Heinz" alongside images of American cuisine, speaks volumes about the power of brand identity and consumer connection. It demonstrates a fearless approach to marketing, leveraging nostalgia and the cultural impact of "Mad Men" to engage audiences in a novel way. This campaign underlines a crucial marketing insight: the importance of understanding and harnessing your brand's place in the consumer's heart. Heinz's gamble was predicated on their deep-rooted market presence and the emotional resonance of the brand with its audience. What do you think? Is this marketing brilliance or a misfire?

This is why marketing should also be about breaking the rules! It’s one of the first marketing rules: to capture people’s imagination, you must first capture their attention. Millions of years of evolution have left humans hardwired to notice what’s different, so brands that break the rules also stand to garner audience interest and applause. The logic behind this fuzzy, topsy-turvy Heinz ad is simple yet brilliant. They show that their ketchup is so deliciously thick that you need to turn the bottle over and shake it to get the goodness inside. The ad banks on the fact that Heinz’s label is so iconic, so ingrained in our minds, that even when it’s distorted beyond belief, we still know exactly what we’re looking at. That's the strength a brand's identity should have when applied consistently over time. #branding #marketing #strategy

Is it time for an alternative take on brand identity? “An increasing number of brands and businesses feel pressure to present a positive public image and fear backlash and scrutiny. Almost two thirds (62%) of PR and marketing professionals questioned said they felt brands are expected to be perfect and never make mistakes. And yet, some brands do it anyway and embrace the backlash” Leila Nithila-George, Creative at Amplify, and Gen-Z ad expert, tells Creative Review why some brands, like Oatly, are flipping the switch and being authentic, showing the good, the bad and the ugly. It's a refreshingly unorthodox strategy in harnessing brand authenticity during an era marked by heightened scrutiny and cancel culture.
