In Case Of Emergency

8:30 pm

Along with a cup of tea, a good bowl of tomato soup is the go-to British way of dealing with any problems. With the January blues well and truly in the swing, Heinz have come up with a new activation that will cheer us up and push us through any day - if you can find it before someone else.
'The activation, with the cases containing a free can of Heinz cream of tomato soup, kicked off in London this week and aims to offer a warming surprise to commuters across the UK as winter sets in. Throughout soup season, Heinz will be popping up in the coldest cities and towns across the UK to surprise consumers. The activation, devised with agency Golin, is running from now until March.
Commuters are being encouraged to fight the freeze by ‘breaking’ the glass to enjoy a winter warm-up. The emergency soup boxes have been created following research showing that 75 per cent of Brits say nothing beats a winter chill like a hot bowl of soup.  As temperatures plummet across the country, Heinz is expecting sales of soup to surge as people reach for winter warmers. In anticipation, Kitt Green, the Heinz soup production factory in Wigan, is despatching nine million cans of soup over the next week alone. It is estimated that Heinz will sell over 20 million cans in January and typically, Heinz says it sees a five per cent increase in demand for every degree drop during the soup season (October- March).' 
Even though demand increases in the these cold winter months, Heinz soup is still a product that many will find at the back of their kitchen cupboards. However this exciting activation is bringing the brand right to the front of your mind in a bold adventurous statement - words you would never associate with Heinz Tomato Soup.
