Valentine’s Day is the second busiest day of the year for restaurants. But it’s not so great for fries and ketchup. So we wondered if we could help the biggest brands in both categories take the spotlight on Valentine’s Day, together.
We paired up McCain fries and Heinz ketchup for the most romantic brand partnership on earth, helping them craft grand romantic gestures back and forth throughout February. It started with a series of flirty gifts, including a heart-shaped locket to keep Heinz Ketchup close, and a floatie so fries and ketchup can finally be enjoyed in a romantic bath. We made these available to fans on social, creating a frenzy as they tried to get their hands on them. The gestures escalated to OOH love notes and a fry-shaped banner flying through the air, before finally culminating in an offer so everyone could enjoy Heinz ketchup and McCain fries on Valentine’s Day.
