Heinz did not claim superiority—it claimed empathy. The move: audit your product category for the complaint that appears in 30+ customer reviews but no competitor has publicly addressed. Launch a single social post that names the complaint in the customer's own words (\"that tiny packet is not ketchup, it is a condiment apology\"), pair it with video proof of the problem, and tag the exact moment in the customer journey when it matters most (game day, tailgate, stadium visit).
