The commercial emphasises the positive atmosphere people can bring when they come together. The story begins when a group of musicians notice a lonely man playing a guitar on the street. The musicians then put down their glasses of Guinness and decided to join him.
People who hear the music rush down from all corners of a building. As they come together, the crowd forms the shape of signature Guinness glass.
The campaign also involves a nationwide outdoor and print initiative, along with placements in major cinemas.
‘Rise Together’ started last year in Asia and it is a long running project of Guinness.
