The opportunity

As providers of the nation’s favourite ketchup and other tasty condiments, Kraft Heinz (@heinzmayo) is known across Britain for making mealtimes delicious.

Following demand from other markets, @heinzmayo decided it was time to see if the UK was ready for the introduction of something new: a combination of Heinz Ketchup and Heinz [Seriously] Good Mayonnaise — all in one squeezy bottle.

Let the great #Mayochup debate begin!

The strategy

Keen to test the appetite for its new product with ketchup and mayo lovers across the country, @heinzmayo launched a Promoted Poll on Twitter to tap into the real-time sentiment of consumers, asking whether #Mayochup could become their next mealtime favourite.

@heinzmayo maximised awareness for the poll by targeting a broad audience. They asked users to vote in favour of or against the introduction of #Mayochup, with the promise that 50,000 “yes” votes would see the new product hitting the shelves of British supermarkets in 2019.
