To launch Heinz Pickle flavoured Ketchup to an Australian audience, we sent a human pickle into La Tomatina festival in Spain - a simple and memorable visual moment to celebrate the unique flavour profile.

The campaign launched on social media with hundreds of applicants vying for the role, with one lucky winner eventually donning the custom-made Pickle costume and traveling to Spain for the festival.

Andrea Payne, head of marketing at Kraft Heinz ANZ said, “To launch our delicious new flavour of Heinz ketchup we wanted to leverage the Irrational love Australians have for both pickles and our ketchup by creating work that continues to expand the meaning of our global brand platform ‘It has to be Heinz’.

Heinz have been passionate about pickles for over 150 years. So much so that our founder Henry J Heinz had the nickname ‘the Pickle King’.”

“There really is no other brand that could create a moment like this for their product. This campaign is a wildly joyful celebration of Heinz Tomato ketchup and the delicious taste of pickles, neatly visualising the product’s flavour in a way that people will remember. Plus, watching someone in a pickle costume being pelted with tomatoes is just joyful, sharable and fun,” Katrina Alvarez-Jarratt ECD TBWA\Sydney explained 

Earned coverage of the stunt expanded the campaign’s reach and was supported in traditional media formats across social and digital film.
