A gorgeously animated campaign film from Heinz via Wieden+Kennedy and Titmouse highlights the point that “adulting sucks” but eventually, we all have to do it. From long work days to being careful about what you eat, being an adult comes with its share of responsibilities. In other words, as the one-minute spot puts it “This is not what I dreamed about when I was a kid.”
All of this is part of the brand’s pitch for Heinz No Sugar Added Ketchup – with a nice play on “NSA”, no strings attached.
The musically-driven spot takes adults back down memory lane to classic animated movies they grew up, with ala Disney, using iconic tropes that portrayed what ‘adulthood’ would be like, contrasted with how it actually turned out. More broccoli, please.
Check it out – though the film currently has no thumbnail it actually does play. 🙂
