Guinness is one of the world’s leading beer brands, specializing in Irish stout beer and active in more than 120 countries, including Korea. After the Covid-19 pandemic dramatically changed our routine, the brand was looking to remind customers of the special experience of visiting a bar instead of enjoying a drink at home. The brand’s representatives in Korea wanted to dedicate a creative campaign to their customers in order to boost engagement, demonstrate the brand’s creative approach, and give their audience the stage.Guinness Korea’s collaboration with Ripples produced two different campaigns that were distributed in around 100 bars across the country. Each campaign focused on a different period, and both campaigns invited customers to scan a QR code printed on POS collateral displayed at local bars. Upon scanning, customers were directed to Ripple’s web app, where unique designs were combined with their selfies to form a personalized beverage print.<>Halloween
The second campaign was launched around Halloween, a celebration of lighthearted creativity that gives people the chance to be anyone and anything in the world. Customers who scanned the QR code were met with spooky, fun designs that turned them into Count Dracula, monsters, and other creatures associated with the holiday. Customers’ selfies were perfectly positioned in the design, which was then printed on the company’s beer served at the bar.
Customers were excited to discover the special surprises prepared for them by Guinness. They enjoyed sharing images on social media and invited friends to join them for a drink at the bar.
