Guinness Africa ‘The Flavour Rooms’
Hey Human
Guinness wanted to boost its sales to younger drinkers in Nigeria and opted for a multi-sensory experience where people could explore the depth of flavour and character of the drink.
The Flavour Rooms went live for three nights in Nigeria in November 2018 and more than 1,400 guests and influencers experienced the immersive space. Guests entered through a Harp door and ventured down a soundproofed black tunnel before enjoying different zones dedicated to the senses.
From a room that playfully celebrated the boldness of African culture with curated performances, designs and flavour from fashion, music, art, dance and food through to a ‘bittersweet’ themed room that included interactive projections and optical illusions, the spaces provided a fun environment for people to explore, unwind and enjoy the rich taste of Guinness.
The results were impressive – The Flavour Rooms made Guinness not only the most talked about beer brand – but the most talked about brand overall – in Nigeria, achieving 75% share of voice in the market and achieving reach of 25 million, exceeding targets by 5 million.
