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 MuÃneacháin) 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.
