Heinz launches cinema ad campaign that is ‘interrupted by a movie'

Campaign ME

08-04-2025

Heinz has launched what it claims is the first ad interrupted by a movie with Post Post-Credits, a cinema ad campaign that plays in two parts.
The first half will tease before the movie begins, but to catch the whole spot, viewers will have to wait till after the end credits roll. Only those patient enough to stay until the very end will unlock limited-edition Heinz merch and exclusive discount deals as part of the campaign.
'You've got to really love something to wait for it – whether it's the final scene after the credits, or that glorious, gravity-defying pour of Heinz,' said Passant El-Ghannam, Marketing Director MEA, Heinz Arabia.
The campaign was creatively developed in partnership with FP7 McCann Dubai, MCN and Big Kahuna Films.
Federico Fanti, Chief Creative Officer, FP7 McCann Dubai said: 'Post-credit scenes have become a cultural phenomenon between filmmakers and audiences, a reward for those who wait. We saw a perfect parallel with Heinz, a brand that has always turned waiting into an experience, in a way that only Heinz can.'
'It's irrational. It's rich. It's Heinz. And that's what this campaign is all about. In a world of skips and scrolls, Heinz is a reminder that some things like great ketchup and great scenes are worth the wait,' El-Ghannam said, explaining the ideation behind the campaign.
Post Post-Credits by Heinz will run at Dubai Mall's Reel Cinemas during the showings of A Working Man on 9 April and Mickey 17 and The Amateur on 10 April and 11 April.
