Guinness: Coasters for Halloween

Halloween party with Guinness

The challenge: In Romania, Guinness is a niche brand, because of its special taste. The client wanted something to drive sales in pubs for the Halloween night. The challenge was to do something special with a very low budget.

The idea: simple and low cost. Due to its colors - black and white - the Guinness beer has all the qualities to pass as a creature of the night. We illustrated this new identity very easy, by using the shadow of the Guinness glasses. In fact, we produced coasters, representing the shadows of the Guinness glasses. The coasters were offered for every Guinness beer bought on Halloween night.

The results: People were curious to know what was all about with the Guinness promotion, they found the idea nice and they wanted the coasters. So the sales boomed for the night and -as a side effect- everybody took home their scary-shadows coasters.

Very novel. I don't think I have seen this done before.

first thought and because of that, not original at all, not surprising, absolutely nothing. In the other hand, and that for me is Guinness, they are promoting a trip into the deep sea or in space but this, well... just a date opportunity and a very first idea. Probably all the good comments are from the people that work on the project.

Enlighten us as to why you think this is first thought and not original.
You're just jealous that you can't come up with stuff this good.

nice idea. Great job guys! Don't worry about mean comments. The paranoid Spider missed to check that all the good comments are from different parts of the world. Or maybe it's an international coasters project. Anyhow great job.

One of the best coaster ambient I have ever seen. Hats off, Tempo Advertising!

And Spider... I only WISH I had worked on this excellent thing. If you think this is first idea, share your first ideas with us, we will be great fan of you too!
