Beer companies are constantly coming out with commercials.
Often times the characters are funny or sexy, rarely are the ads heartwarming.
The advantage to creating a heartwarming ad that hits customers at their core
is that people will remember the commercial and with the help of the Internet
share the commercial. Guinness has created the most recent beer ad that you may
want to watch with a box of tissues. In one minute Guinness tells the viewer a
story of a group of friends who are willing to go to extremes to play
basketball together. The slow song being played during a rough game of
basketball indicates there can be more to this game then meets the eye. This ad
is popular because it seems to be promoting more than just a beer, it is
promoting strong character. The old phrase “A Guinness for Strength” has a
whole new meaning now.
