It's said that life imitates art. That seems especially true if you're a ketchup company,Watch Four Riders (Hellfighters of the East) Online and said art contains a bunch of free ideas for selling ketchup.
Heinz is pulling its latest ad campaign straight from the smoke-filled boardrooms of Mad Men's Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.

The ads are stark and minimalist in the understated style typical of Draper, the consummate purist. Each consists only of a mouth-watering food close-up and a slogan: "Pass the Heinz."
"It's simple, and it's tantalizingly incomplete," Draper says in one of his signature ruminative pitches.
The unimpressed Heinz executives on the show put it a different way: "It feels like half an ad."
Their real-life modern counterparts were evidently more receptive to Draper's high-minded nonsense. It probably helps that tying an ad to a popular TV show ensures that several articles like this one will be written about it, guaranteeing free publicity.
