We launched Ketchup Fraud, an integrated campaign that called out restaurants refilling Heinz bottles with generic ketchup. It featured caught-in-the-act style assets and a twist on our tagline: Even when it isn't Heinz, it has to be Heinz. From there, we enlisted fans to tell us which restaurants have been committing Ketchup Fraud so that we could get them the real deal. We didn't just want to bring attention to Ketchup Fraud – we wanted to end it.
