For Super Bowl 2025, Hellmann’s brought back the most iconic sandwich scene ever from When Harry Met Sally—reuniting Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal at Katz Deli after 35 years. My partner and I helped build out the spot into into a cross-platform campaign, racking up 40 billion total impressions and making waves in culture.
TEASER
POST GAME SPOT
Before the game, Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal’s teaser post made waves on the internet…
And we had to recreate Harry’s iconic cream sweater - in the shade Hellmann’s Cream, of course - which was a hit with influencers.
We created mock movie posters that were put up around NYC and Katz Deli to further build hype.
After the game, fans could order the exact ‘What She’s Having’ sandwich package from Katz Deli.
The results: 39.4B total impressions, 10.6K placements, 95% positive to neutral sentiment, +290% YoY in social conversation surrounding the brand, +244% in news placements and +713% in X discussions - one of the most talked about Super Bowl campaigns this year.
