Notes: | On Monday, June 7th, 2021, outdoor hospitality for pubs and restaurants across Ireland finally returned after over 5 months of closure due to Covid-19 restrictions. Guinness wanted to celebrate this special moment, and tap into the anticipation of people longing to return to the pub for a pint of the black stuff with their mates. To stoke this anticipation, on Sunday, June 6th, 2021, the eve of outdoor hospitality reopening in Ireland, Guinness shared a playful social post reminding those counting down the days that the wait for that first pint back was almost over. The social post was simple – two white pillows were placed on a black background, creating the iconic and instantly recognisable Guinness pint silhouette, along with the line “ONE MORE SLEEP”, a nod to how many days were left until outdoor hospitality returned. This simple visual had the nation licking their lips on social media; generating 11.4k likes on Instagram and 1.2k on Twitter. |
