Hellmann’s wants people to turn yesterday’s leftovers into today’s sandwich.

-For years, Hellmann’s Mayonnaise has dedicated its platform to fighting food waste through its “Make Taste, Not Waste” campaign. Thanksgiving is one of the biggest food waste days of the year. In fact, Hellmann’s new food waste survey shows that 2 in 3 American families throw away leftovers after holiday gatherings1 contributing to the nearly 305 million pounds of food thrown away each year during Thanksgiving alone.  That’s why the brand is launching Between 2 Slices, an OOH and print ad campaign empowering people to fight food waste with sandwiches. Yes, sandwiches. With just two slices of bread and Hellmann’s mayonnaise, leftover food can be transformed into delicious, creative next-day meals. Hellmann’s worked with creative agency, Illusion CGI Studio to create the advertisements.

-After completing a study over the summer about compensation for new business pros, NBZ Partner has a second wave that dives into how agencies incentivize that group to produce not just more but better sales leads for agencies.

At least after 10 p.m.” or to “make that holiday happy hour, like, an actual hour.” This is one of the first major campaigns under Hatch’s recently-appointed CMO, Eric Pallotta.
