Much of Africa is ultra-passionate about football - particularly the English Premier League.

Based on the brand line that Guinness is 'Made of More', we positioned the drink as an aspirational product, whilst setting our campaign in the world of football - with an inspirational thought that you can be the boss if you're 'made of more'. The TV ads and associated campaign comms successfully gave Guinness an identity and relevance, transforming its brand image and sales.
