Heinz Hidden Spots is a new campaign from agency Gut São Paulo that targets Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific players with the intention of giving them safe havens for escaping their enemies and time for a snack break. According to Heinz brand director Ashleigh Gibson, "80% of gamers eat and drink while playing, but it’s much harder to do this in multiplayer games like Call of Duty, where an ill-timed break can cost you the match." This campaign taps into gamers' snacking habits and it highlights some of the best-hidden spots on the new Caldera map, which just launched in early December.
The brand collaborated with top streamers to find the best spots for safe snacking and across social media, gamers are encouraged to tune in to keep discovering more.
