Anchored by Kraft HEINZ’s largest media investment to date, the global creative platform demonstrates the unmatched love generations of people all over the world have for HEINZ – from Ketchup to Beanz and everything in-between(z). The fan stories featured in the creative – such as HEINZ tattoos, carrying condiment packets in purses, and smuggling tins of Beanz through airport security – are sourced from social media, news articles, and through word of mouth.
“As we looked to unify the brand under one global brand platform, we dove into the world of our consumers and found that they all shared one thing: the irrational lengths they go to for HEINZ products,” said Diana Frost, Chief Growth Officer, North American Zone at The Kraft HEINZ Company. “As a brand obsessed with our consumers, we created ‘It Has to be HEINZ’ as our love song back to them, our fans are our muses.”
For over 150 years, HEINZ has been on a quest to do the common thing uncommonly well. Today, unparalleled quality remains at the core of the brand’s beliefs and practices, from the careful selection of only the highest quality ingredients by its seven “Tomato Masters”, to its goal of sourcing 100% sustainable ketchup by 2025. Each step is meticulously considered to make sure the unmistakable taste of HEINZ is delivered every time.
“Our fans may go to irrational lengths for HEINZ products, but the feeling is mutual – we’re just as obsessed with our products as they are and can’t wait to share it with the world,” said Cristina Kenz, Chief Growth Officer, International Zone at The Kraft HEINZ Company. “This irrational love is also driving a larger transformation at Kraft HEINZ, where we’re moving at the speed of culture to surprise and delight our consumers with insight-led innovations and authentic brand experiences.”
The campaign, developed in partnership with Wieden+Kennedy, features five vignette-style spots of true and could-be-true stories, celebrating the unmatched love people have for HEINZ Ketchup and Beanz. The new platform will be featured across channels, targeting mass reach and high impact placements through TV, online video, cinema, social, and out-of-home. “It Has to be HEINZ” will debut in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Germany, and will roll out to additional markets over the next six months.

ExaGrid Announces All Flash/SSD Tiered Backup Storage Solution22.1.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
ExaGrid®, the industry’s only Tiered Backup Storage solution with AI-Powered Retention Time-Lock (RTL) that includes a non-network-facing tier (tiered air gap), Auto Detect & Guard, delayed deletes and immutability for ransomware recovery, today announced that it is shipping an All Flash/SSD backup storage solution with a unique front-end Landing Zone and non-network-facing Repository Tier (tiered air gap) that stores all backup retention using advanced data deduplication. The new SSD appliances ship with ExaGrid software version 8. ExaGrid’s unique Landing Zone and scale-out architecture allow for significantly faster backups and restores, as well as scalability as data grows, versus other SSD products such as Dell Data Domain inline deduplication appliances with SSD or straight SSD from Pure Storage.

Overall Survival Primary Endpoint Met in Corcept’s Pivotal Phase 3 ROSELLA Trial of Relacorilant in Patients with Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer22.1.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT), a commercial-stage company engaged in the discovery and development of medications to treat severe endocrinologic, oncologic, metabolic and neurologic disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol, today announced that ROSELLA, the company’s pivotal Phase 3 trial of relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel to treat patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, met its overall survival (OS) primary endpoint. In ROSELLA, patients treated with relacorilant in addition to nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy experienced a 35 percent reduction in the risk of death compared to patients treated with nab-paclitaxel alone (hazard ratio: 0.65; p-value: 0.0004). The median OS for patients receiving relacorilant was 16.0 months, compared to 11.9 months for patients receiving nab-paclitaxel alone, a difference of 4.1 months. Relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel was well-tolerated, consistent with its known safety profile. Importantly, the
Parse Biosciences Launches Workflow for Immune Repertoire and Transcriptome Analysis22.1.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Parse Biosciences, the leading provider of accessible and scalable single cell sequencing solutions, today announced the launch of a fully integrated immune repertoire and whole transcriptome analysis workflow in its data analysis platform, Trailmaker™. The new functionality complements Parse’s existing portfolio of Evercode immune products to enable a full end-to-end workflow for researchers. Immunologists have lacked an integrated, purpose-built platform capable of connecting immune repertoire data with whole transcriptome single cell insights. As a result, interpreting clonal behavior, understanding functional cell states, and drawing meaningful biological conclusions has often required stitching together fragmented tools, custom code, or inconsistent visualization approaches. The new Trailmaker functionality directly addresses these challenges by providing an accessible, end-to-end immune profiling solution that brings repertoire and transcriptional information together in a cohesi
