The brand is hoping to increase consumption and drive sales. It is also introducing new packaging to communicate the five-a-day message.

It features a boy named Jack who is persuaded to swap his toy cow for “magic Heinz beans” in the style of the traditional fairy tale.

The campaign, by AMV BBDO breaks on 3 October and will run on TV for five weeks. It uses the strapline: “for truly magic beans, it has to be Heinz” and will also include press, PR and digital activity.

Paul White, marketing manager for Heinz Beanz, says: “We wanted to use the fairy-tale storyline of Jack and the Beanstalk to ensure the advert resonates with both adults and children. By playing to people’s imagination, we can communicate that Heinz Beanz give families a tea they love, whilst also providing them with one of their five-a-day.”

Heinz has also launched a campaign for its Tomato Ketchup range and has named Actress Nadia Sawalha as the face of its “Secret Ingredient” campaign designed to encourage consumers to use Heinz ketchup as a cooking ingredient.

Heinz has also said that its limited edition balsamic vinegar ketchup variant will become a permanent fixture in the range.
