Budweiser advertised in the ’90s with frogs and lizards, but Guinness used animals in their advertising decades ago. Benson advertising first created the iconic Guinness look in the 1930s with posters illustrated by John Gilroy. The ads featured a variety of animals, especially toucans and penguins, with catchy headlines such as

Guinness ran an advertising campaign in the 1920s which stemmed from market research - when people told the company that they felt good after their pint, the slogan was born – "Guinness is Good for You". This type of advertising for alcoholic drinks that implies improved physical performance or enhanced personal qualities is now prohibited in Ireland.[38] Diageo, the company that now manufactures Guinness, now says: "We never make any medical claims for our drinks."
“Guinness is disgusting” “Guinness is what I would always pick, a pint at the pub is perfect” “I really like Guinness” “Guinness tastes so much better when in Ireland” “Guinness is my favourite” “I don’t trust any drink that colour”

In 2000, Guinness's 1999 advertisement Surfer was named the best television commercial of all time in a UK poll conducted by The Sunday Times and Channel 4. This advertisement is inspired by the famous 1980s Guinness TV and cinema ad, "Big Wave", centred on a surfer riding a wave while a bikini-clad sun bather takes photographs. The 1980s advertisement not only remained a popular iconic image in its own right but also entered the Irish cultural memory through inspiring a well known line in Christy Moore's 1985 song "Delirium Tremens". Surfer was produced by the advertising agency Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO; the advertisement can be downloaded from their website. Guinness won the 2001 Clio Award as the Advertiser of the Year, citing the work of five separate ad agencies around the world. What is good? GUINNESS
