Guinness weren’t an official Rugby World Cup sponsor and risked not being the brand most associated with it. The objective was to win the battle of the advertisers not through media spend, but connecting with their audience emotionally. We told the story of Gareth Thomas who lived in fear of his sexuality in a very heterosexual sport who had the bravery to tell his team he was gay. And how they were there for him, epitomising the Guinness positioning Made of More’.
