For Guinness, BBDO decided that instead of freely disseminating ads online or on TV, it would turn its media messages into prizes.

There’s a Guinness ad hidden somewhere on the ‘net and it is your job to find and launch it. (“Why us?” we wonder.) To do this, you have to unravel a mixed bag of clues, codes and puzzles.

The campaign involves a village of some sort. This is the mayor, Juan Ramon. (We like how you can hear sinister background laughter at the end.)

If the idea of hunting down a Guinness ad is irresistible and you’re ready to jump on and go, you may also want to “peruse” (their words) this letter.

Research suggests people over 60 who keep an immaculate home but feel chaotic inside aren’t contradicting themselves, they’re compensating — the external order is a containment strategy for internal disorder, and the cleaner the surfaces the more likely it is that something underneath is being managed through control because it can’t be managed through expression

I have a perfectly good smartphone with a notes app I know how to use, but every Sunday I still write my weekly tasks on a piece of paper that sits on my kitchen counter — because at 65, I’ve learned that seeing something in my own handwriting makes me accountable to myself in a way a screen notification never could
