Ed Sheeran presents what he calls 'sauceographs' signing his signature for fans using a new hot sauce by Kraft Heinz dubbed Tingly Teds. Instead of using a pen, he uses a bottle of Tingly Ted's to leave an 'edible' signature on canvases such as paper towels and pizzas. This campaign was imagined by Kraft Heinz, and it involved collaborative work alongside Uncovered, Wonderland Comms, and David Madrid.
The purpose is to bring attention to Sheeran's work in the condiment industry and how he wants to create the 'ketchup of hot sauces' that pair perfectly with breakfast eggs and late-night burritos. He explains, "I’ve always been obsessed with creating the perfect hot sauce, something that adds a kick to any dish. What better way to introduce fans to Tingly Ted’s than with something they’ve never seen before?"
