The multi-million dollar campaign, created by Ten/United Pittsburgh and comprising of a mix of television, print and billboard advertising, urges consumers to “Insist On Heinz” Ketchup when it’s not available at their favorite eating establishments. The tagline, “A good meal out deserves a great ketchup. Insist on Heinz,” is incorporated in all print and broadcast advertising.
