These days it takes a lot to make viewers watch an entire ad. Guinness’ latest commercial, however, will have you glued to the screen.

Part of their “Made of More” campaign, Guinness has constructed a heartwarming commercial that rightfully and wisely waits until the last moment to mention the product. Instead it focuses on the group of young men playing a vigorous game of wheelchair basketball. The Cinema Orchestra’s “To Build a Home” plays poignantly and perfectly in the background. Then the ad’s twist sent a surge of emotion through me.
For a commercial about beer, it is particularly powerful.
