I want, I want, I want…
I want Paul Campbell to talk to Nick Kelly
Nick Kelly, formerly of The Fat Lady Sings, won a Clio Award (the advertising equivalent of an Oscar) for his Guinness spot “Tom Crean” in 2003. Nick also wrote the Guinness “Quarrel” advertisement which featured the late Mic Christopher’s posthumous hit “Heyday”.
Nick also made the prizewinning short ‘Why the Irish dance that way’.
So then I want them to contact Dublin Girl, Sophie Merry a.k.a Groovy Dancing Girl (Irish and living in Dublin)
I want them to make a brilliant new ad for Guinness that will reveal the legendary ‘Anticipation’ as little more than a triumph of choppy editing.
And I want them to do it now…
Press play to see why…this made the No. 3 spot of the “Top 10 virals of 2007″
Remixed to Benny Hill theme tune (perfect fit)
Inspiring the kids :)
“Shone like an arclight…” Ah memories…
Guinness Anticipation
I came across the GroovyDancingGirl via StumbleUpon a couple of months ago. I idly thought to myself this could make a great new ad for Guinness. But it wasn’t until today that I learnt that the groovy dancing girl is Irish (via Conn Ó Muíneacháin) And it wasn’t until last night at the first techludd event that I discovered that Paul Campbell knows Nick Kelly. Make it happen guys.
