H. J. Heinz Company’s Approach to Integrated Marketing
Heinz Ketchup knew that it wanted to return to the television airwaves and launch its newest ad campaign in a big way; so in February 2014, it released a 0:30 second ad entitled “Hum” during the third quarter of the Super Bowl. What went into this release, however, was more than just a single ad to the masses. Coupled with a 360-degree activation program complete with a national sweepstakes, limited edition ketchup bottles, in-store and in-restaurant activation, digital advertising, and real-time marketing via social media during the Big Game, Heinz demonstrated how integrated marketing can bring a message to life across several channels and remind consumers that “Where There’s Happy, It has to be Heinz.”

Industrial Brand Love
There’s no arguing that it’s much harder to move the needle on consumer brand perceptions these days, given the current climate of social media and market distractions. But in the B2B world, driving demand and building genuine meaning behind an industrial brand takes on a whole new set of challenges, especially while chasing a differentiated position against aggressive competitors. Kennametal Inc. will talk about integrated ways to define and support brand messaging and the unique requirements of brand building in the industrial B2B marketplace.
