Creative Ad: Bring it to Life

Guinness's epic ad was shot in beautiful locations including New Zealand, Canada, Fiji and the UK. Called "World," the ad features a group of men who bring life to a barren landscape.

Johnny Green, the director of the TV ad, described it as "one of the toughest" jobs he has ever worked on.

"We wanted to create a truly amazing campaign which will graphically illustrate the life, energy and passion of the brand," said Paul Cornell, marketing manager for Guinness.

This is exactly how an ad should be. It appeals to the heart and emotion. Kudos.

Beautiful, stunning, amazing locations.

On the down side, what a negative impression it gives of man's relationship to the environment: some incredible natural locations altered by a bunch of macho guys making ill-informed DIY type improvements. I haven't seen anything this staggeringly out of touch with the delicate balance between man and nature since the 1980s. I wonder why they couldn't have shown the guys bringing nature back to some (visually awesome) post-industrial landscapes, rather than chiselling away at the coral reef?

Nice to look at, though. Thanks for posting.

One of my favourite ads of all time probably, the bit with the grass is stunning.

The fish remind me of Hawaii and the mountains of China. Cool idea.
