MONDAY MORNING CREATIVE HIT
October 20 2008, 8:26 am | | 2 Comments
Two former top Marketforce creatives are behind a new international Guinness commercial that has just gone to air in the UK. Working at Saatchi & Saatchi London, Dave Govier and Levi Slavin created the ‘Spoken Word’ tvc that features spoken word artist Ainsley Burrows.
Govier and Slavin were a highly awarded Perth team at Marketforce for many years before resigning to join Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand. They transferred to the London office just over a year ago.

what a shame Dave & Levi are still facing the same budget issues that we face here in Perth.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s stunningly directed and looks incredible but you could put just about any product on the end and it would work. It doesn’t scream Guinness and it doesn’t make me want to have a beer. Levi and Dave have done amazing work in the past, I just think this is one ad where I wouldn’t remember who it was for after I’d seen it. Yet I’m still jealous they get to work on Guiness…heh.
