Hellmann’s Gets Dunked on by Toronto Raptor Brandon Ingram
The campaign features five mascots, each representing one of Hellmann’s five flavours, all going head-to-head with Ingram in a dunk-filled showdown where things get messy in the best possible way. While these flavour mascots may fail on the court, fans win big with crave-worthy inspiration for every game day moment.
“Hellmann’s Starting Five Flavours bring bold energy – even the mascots came ready to play,” said Ingram. “For me, it’s all about having fun and elevating the game day experience. I’m excited to team up with Hellmann’s to bring a little more flavour to Raptors fans.”

Rolling out across Toronto and beyond, the campaign will appear in-arena, across high-impact out-of-home placements, and through social-first content designed for fans’ FYPs. Fans can head to @hellmannscanada and @raptors for behind-the-scenes footage, and an interactive arcade-inspired dunking game that lets them engage directly.
Each dunking moment spotlights a different flavour profile, encouraging fans to discover which Hellmann’s best matches their game-day style.
