Its robust form is injection molded in glass-reinforced nylon, extremely fatigue resistant material firm enough for outdoor or indoor use, conference tables or domestic settings.

+++ ADVERTISING

Guinness: Sapeurs
Director: Nicolai Fuglsig
Creative Director: Dave Buchanan
Copywriter: Nicholas Hulley
Art Director: Nadja Lossgott

Client: Guinness
Agency: AMV BBDO, London
Production: MJZ
Country: United Kingdom
New ad features the ‘society of elegant persons of the Congo’ otherwise known as the ‘Sapeurs’, a group of everyday heroes from Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo. In this ad, GUINNESS follows the Sapeurs whose way of life is a testament to the belief of putting more in, to get more out. Their life is not defined by occupation or wealth, but by respect, a moral code and an inspirational display of flair and creativity. This is demonstrated through their love of stylish dressing; but it is not the fabric or cost of the suit that counts, it is the worth of the man inside it.
