Digital Out of Home Billboards


Heinz tomato soup is an iconic staple in the UK and sees it’s highest sales during the winter months. So a nod to the weather was key in promoting the product. With only a week to turn around creative development and production I focussed on simple messaging to convery the simple comforts of Heinz soup. 

Starting with copy that would convey what Heinz means tothe people that love it.  ie. “Cosey Keeper?... Mine’s Heinz”. Paired with imagery of cold hands embracing bowls of animated steaming soup to offer the
impression of peering through of a window on a dreary day at a simple moment of comfort.  
To help with immediacy, the copy was simplified into alliterative couplets and the design was refined to show a heroic packshot of the product beneath a window made from the iconic Heinz keystone against a bold red backdrop.

Each variant would only be activated when the weather matched it, ie ‘rainy rescue’ would show on a rainy day. This creative appeared on 800 digital billboards nationwide during the Autumn/Winter seasons and across Heinz social media.
