Reply to comment by christwin in Another stellar ad from VisitBaltimore. Just a reminder that the CEO makes $400K a year. by Cepia

I’ve been there. I like it a lot. I know they do stouts but their flagship is the Baltimore blonde.

It’s just funny to me that someone clearly just google imaged “Guinness” and picked the first thing they saw for this graphic.

Yes, because it’s a Guinness factory, brewery, etc. regardless of what they make, people will know a pint of Guinness across the world when you see it. Any blonde looks the same.

They have their own unique branding for the Baltimore blonde

And nobody knows what it is either way. That’s the point. This is bad marketing regardless, but using the OG iconic pint of Guinness to market the Guinness brewery is correct. Marketing is about reaching people with things they connect with.
